"Imo.im  is a new instant messaging tool that combines multiple IM clients to allow for a unified chat service.  Created and funded by an early Google employee, Imo is similar in concept to Meebo and other multi-IM tools out there.  The instant messenger clients currently supported by Imo include Yahoo Messenger, AIM, MSN and GTalk.  \nThe service so far is pretty basic.  You can link your accounts, and start chat groups.  This is helpful for Google users, as GTalk has no group functionality and limited options otherwise.  For the other IM clients, you're mostly losing the bells and whistles, and even some functionality.  But as with Meebo, those necessity of avoiding things like Firewalls, and the desire to have centralized access to chat tools for the purpose of chatting, will be spur some interest with Imo's alpha phase.  There's also a Facebook  application for Imo.\nSee here  for more IM tools and resources.  AIRTalk  is another entrant on the scene.\n[via  alarm:clock]\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
