Does she actually want to use YM or does she want to use something like it - e.g. online chat?

looking for the same thing but for AIM. So she wants to use YM and AIM

You'd normally have to mod her im client to post it's status to the web
site. There's a java api for yahoo messenger at sourceforge that I had
looked at a while ago. IIRC, it could status the IM server but was a
hack. You might want to search there to see if there's a .net api. Yahoo released it's search api but I don't recall seeing their IM api formally released. -------------
