Take Instant Messaging, mix it up with RSS updates and what do you get? ImFeeds. IMFeeds delivers you fresh updates right to your favorite IM client (currently it supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo and GoogleTalk, however, more are on the way). Basically, it turns your IM client into a feed reader. You’ll be notified of breaking news, new comments from your friends, price drops on eBay, FedEx shipments, and more. Feeds can be managed by sending a message to the IMFeeds buddy or through the site itself. To get started, simply add IMFeeds to your buddy list and send it a ‘join’ message. You’ll receive further instructions from there. No additional downloads or software is necessary, and it’s absolutely free.
“Tired of constantly refreshing websites waiting for the next update? Want to be notified when a breaking story hits, a friend leaves a comment on your profile, a FedEx package arrives at your home or a Nintendo Wii is in stock? Check out IM Feeds to do all of the above and more.
IM Feeds is an instant messaging robot that is free, doesn't require additional software and supports all the major IM networks (AIM, MSN, Yahoo and Google Talk).”

IM Feeds is a clever, straightforward way to get your RSS updates. It’s especially useful for those who are constantly connected via IM. They’ll automatically be notified about important news or updates, without having to drop whatever they’re doing, which is a must for checking a regular feed reader. For information junkies, this works quickly and gets the job done.
As this will probably only appeal to a select few, how will it reach critical mass, especially as it's not the only service to do this? Will more IM clients be added soon?
