Sharing music via IM?

Yahoo may be paving the way for this to be a reality.

Yahoo's plans are still sketchy, but sources close to the company say instant messaging will play a key role. While the popular IM software already lets people listen to online radio, new versions will let people share and interact with one another's digital playlists.

Given the high consumer penetration of IM and the immediate user friendliness of the application, this could be a very big trend.

Thanks to Brad for the tip.
