Imo.im a Meebo alternative
Like Meebo, Imo.im offers you the option to connect to various instant messengers using a simple web interface. Imo.im lets you connect to the following four popular instant messengers: AIM, Yahoo, MSN and Google Talk.
The service that Imo.im offers is free and easy to use. Just enter your username and password and select the service that you want to log in to.
It is possible to sign on into more than one account at a time. By using the Link Accounts feature you can link those accounts which has the following result: as soon as you sign in to one account you are automatically logged in to all other linked accounts as well so that you do not need to do so manually for each account.
I personally think that Imo.im is already a great alternative to Meebo, especially if Meebo has been banned from your network. This new service is surely new enough so that it is unlikely that it is already banned in your network. Imo.im is still a early alpha but already working fine in my opinion. If you did try Imo.im let me know how you like the service.
Update: Imo.im is available and no longer in alpha or beta status. The service is not available as a web service anymore, but also as a mobile client for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and Nokia phones.
It supports the following services now: MSN, Facebook Chat, Google Talk, Yahoo, Steam, VKontakte, Jabber, AIM and ICQ.
The developers have added a number of new features to the service besides the already mentioned mobile applications. You can now for instance send voice messages to friends or access the chat history which the service makes available.
Update 2: Imo.im has just announced on the official company blog that support for all third-party messaging networks will be discontinued. If you use the service for that, you can visit the site to download your history from it before it becomes unavailable.
Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:

Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.
And this comment is written on the dropbox article from August 25, 2023.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
