Update: Nimbuzz and fring also supports Skype chat on mobile devices. I tried using the service on my iPhone (no app, just browse to the website) and it worked seamlessly.
It can handle text, voice and video conversations on the most important instant messaging services including Windows Live Messenger / MSN, AIM / ICQ, MySpace, Yahoo Messenger, Jabber, Gtalk as well as – and correct me if I’m wrong but I think this is a first – Skype. IMO.IM is simple, web-based service that doesn’t require you to register, comes with a desktop version for Windows and supports multiple languages.
IMO.IM is its name, it’s still in alpha stage (whatever that means), and it’s actually pretty neat.įirst, the good. If you are doing other things on the web and simply don’t want to type, you can utilize imo.im to speak your mind via services like Skype hands free.With all the talk about Meebo adding support for Facebook chat yesterday, I took notice of a message in our tips inbox today about another instant messaging aggregator service that I’d never heard of before adding support for Skype chat. Like webcams, most computers have a microphone of some kind or at the very least, an option to plug one in. It would be really unprofessional of you, but you could do it if you had to. If you are out running errands and remember you have a 2:30 Skype video conference, you could pop into a Best Buy and use one of the demo computers. If you are on a computer equipped with a webcam, you can use the video chat feature offered by some IM services. By logging onto the imo.im site, I regain the use of video. For example, with Yahoo IM there is an option for video chat when I use the desktop app on my Mac. Even though it is a downloaded application, it is pretty much just like the browser pop out.ĭepending on the IM service you choose to log into, you can access some of the features usually associated with their individual desktop application.
Aside from not needing to have a browser running, there is no difference between the web and desktop version. The third option is a downloadable desktop application for Windows computers.
