Imo’s new thin UI lets you pop the application out from your browser window, making it more manageable to work with.Like past versions, the latest iteration of imo still allows you to sign into multiple services–it supports AIM/ICQ, Facebook, Google Talk, Hyves, Jabber, MSN, MySpace, Skype, Steam, VKontakte, and Yahoo–simultaneously.
Others, such as the imo network, which allows you to connect with folks you might not otherwise known, are of more dubious value. Some of them, such as the ability to create chat groups and a new, thin UI, which lets you pop windows out of your browser, are great. That’s why I was eager to check out the latest version, which adds a range of features.
I’ve long been a fan of imo, the free Web-based chat service that lets you connect with your contacts from multiple services.
