"radiusIM, a web-based instant message tool that incorporates Google maps for locating friends, has just closed an angel round of $500,000.\nAccording to radiusIM, they have had a few key technology milestones as well as an increase in traffic.  They've spent the past few months since their launch last October improving several areas of  scaling their site to match their growth, enhance navigation and getting a nice set of new features.  Of these new features comes the radiusIM friend importer, in import email addresses in order to invite friends to join.  Other new features include a way to see when your friends on AIM, MSN and Yahoo are receiving their messages on their mobile phone, and a password save option, so you won't have to login every time you want to sign in to radiusIM.\nradiusIM is similar to Meebo in that they offer a multi-message system that incorporates all the major instant messaging systems.  While there are several mobile applications, including an AOL instant messenger implementation of Skyhook, that will locate friends that are nearby.  As radiusIM is web-based, they haven't integrated a comprehensive mobile solution just yet, but once they do, I'm sure they'll experience even more growth than what they've experienced in these past few months.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
