Consolidating your IMs is a cool thing nowadays. You have websites like eBuddy, Meebo, e-Messenger getting into this business but is there really a way to make money from it ? Since most of this sites rely on AJAX, I guess they will included AD-supported login windows in the future to get some $$ into the pot. Here's another one of "those" single IM sites - KoolIM. It has logins to most IMs found in Meebo.com but its only in Alpha right now (it launched Monday 10 July 2006) and it lacks a chazt logging function also found in Meebo. Yes. I'm using Meebo very often now and not switching sides yet until they really support 12 IM networks and 4 Content Channels.Thanks to Servaas from Web2weblog for the Tip !
Update :
I've tested it with my MSN and Yahoo IM login. It pops a new window open and the login process takes too long until its had an error message - "You have been signed out. Your session possibly has expired." Darn. I hate websites that are in Alpha!
Finally, we would like to announce the alpha launch of www.koolim.com. It has been a few months working on the front end client and close to four years working on the back end. The KoolIM front end was built using AJAX technologies while the BuddyStream back end platform was built using Java. We have worked extremely hard to bring this version of KoolIM to market. The back end is powered by our back end technology platform called BuddyStream. KoolIM is a generic IM solution, the initial version will support access to 12 IM networks and 4 Content Channels.
This website is great!
