Imo allows you to chat with your friends on instant messaging clients from one spot. Combine your AIM, Google Talk, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger buddy lists into one big long list of contacts for you to chat with. The buddy list also displays your buddies´ away messages and status, and keeps them separated through the various groups you´ve already set up through each of your accounts. You can link your messaging services together, so that you just need to log into one to access them all. The best feature on the site is the ability to create group chats between buddies from any of your messaging services. This is a great tool for people who use GTalk, since they don´t have a group chat function available. In order for your friends to join the chat, they just need to follow the link they´re provided, which brings them to an Imo page, and they can start iming.
“IMO is a web based instant messaging service where you can instant message your friends on AIM, Google Talk, MSN, and Yahoo Messenger.”
The group chat feature is a great tool that allows people to communicate without needing to create yet another username, no matter what their messaging client. This could be a great help for people who rely on GTalk. The site is easy to read and user friendly. It just started, so it´ll be interesting to see what other functions they put out next.
How will they compete with Meebo.com that´s been out longer and allows participation from more messaging services and has more developed features, since they´ve had the time to get situated? How will they promote themselves? How will they make a profit from the site?
