The multi-network Web based Messenger service eMessenger recently changed its name to eBuddy shortly after a visual overhaul sometime during May.
eBuddy currently supports the instant messaging networks MSN, Yahoo and AIM using Javeline in a fast AJAX Web based environment requiring no additional software installed other than a modern browser. eBuddy also offers a mobile version that runs on devices which support xHTML or WAP 2.0.
Currently there is a new MSN version running on the site, allowing you to choose the classic or new one. The new version is quite impressive, resembling the theme on MSN Messenger 7.5, but also adding its own touch. It features display pictures, content tabs & tabbed environment and even nudges.
See for yourself and give it a try.
As reported by Mess with MSN Messenger last week, Meebo is a new Web-based multi-IM client supporting AIM, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, Jabber (and GTalk) and MSN Messenger. But that’s not the best bit, as they say on their about page:
We’re three folks working to bring IM to Web 2.0. Hopefully this lets you get all of your IMing done in one place and makes it easier too.
If you’re not sure what Web 2.0 is, you can read about it at Wikipedia. Basically, it’s taking the Web to a whole new level, especially in terms of user experience and speed. If you like GMail’s dynamic fast interface, you’ll love Meebo.
Meebo is really raising the bar, you have your contact list window and instant message windows all inside the single browser window and there’s no page refreshing, so it’s very fast. Heck, you can even maximise and minimise them, go check it out at http://www.meebo.com/.
