example: testuser@gmail.com or a jabber account - example: testuser@jabber.org. Create new contacts by
clicking on the "Add a new contact..." button. You can also organize your contacts into Groups.

you have added them to your Contact list. They must accept being added to your list and then you can
Yakkle with them. If they decide not to be part of your list then you will not be able to connect with them.

| Sharing Your Desktop |

One of the most amazing features of Yakkle is not just the ability to instant message and talk with others
but to broadcast your desktop out to other users. You do this by selecting the tab with your user name on
it in the Desktop tabs area. You will be given the option to share your entire computer screen or just a
portion. If you decide to share a portion, then anything that you put inside this shared window area will
be viewable by the users you are Yakkling with. If you decide to stop sharing your desktop, simply click
on the "Hide Desktops" tab. If other users are also sharing their desktops, then you can click on their tab and
view their computer screens.
