IM stands for "instant message" or "instant messenger". An IM (as in message) is a quick note you can send to someone who is also using a messenger program. They receive your message immediately if they are logged on at the same time and are at their machine.
The messenger is a program that lets you send such instant messages. Yahoo! has one, you can download it for free at http://messenger.yahoo.com

It's an "instant message". For those who use Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger and the like. People who are online a lot use it instead of checking their email... when someone "IMs" you, you know right away... it pops up on your screen.
