It is not all that often that I read something and get an idea for a startup that could really be useful but today I have just experienced this thing - when you see something and immediately understand this could evolve into a great startup that could never fail because of any recession since there are certain things people will never stop doing in any financial situation.

imo.im seems to be one of the startups launched by ex-Googlers that gets less attention than an average ex-Googlers' project and even less than deserved. So after getting an announcement from the guys behind imo.im I've decided to update you on their latest news - support of Skype protocol.
We covered imo.im before on Profy but for those uninitiated I'll remind you that this is a web-based instant messaging multi-protocol client competing with Meebo in the field. It [...]

Perhaps the one thing I advocate more than the advancement of technology and the internet is using the success of one idea to slingshot ahead to the bigger picture; after all, isn't that the only way advancement really occurs anyway?  Meebo, known as being a successful instant messaging aggregator, just announced a new project called "Meebo Community Instant Messaging," a service that is designed to take the instant messaging platforms which are now very popular on social networking sites, and [...]

By now you've likely all heard plenty about the iPhone. Too much, even. Since the start of summer we’ve seen both the mainstream press and the blogosphere harp incessantly about Apple’s invention - its technological advantages, the seeming unrivaled grace with which it functions, or those specially-concocted websites and applications that have risen to public view (i.e., Facebook, Digg, Meebo, etc.) over the past few months.

Sure, servers are serving and screens are…you know…screening, but a good portion of the newsmakers and newsbreakers are taking a bit of a rest, a siesta if you will. Why? Well, here in the US in particular, we’re coming up on a national holiday, and while Americans typically take most every chance they get to practice their overtime-honored workaholicism, we also know how to abide by our calendars [...]

Everyone’s talking about APIs these days.
The developer world loves ‘em. They eat them up like luscious treats of godly goodness. After they finish their celebratory cheers and siphon those lasts few sips from them party kegs, they plant themselves before their screens and pore over the releases’ particulars to determine how good the kits are (whether they’re offer up enough info to enable some really nifty and powerful third-party stuff, whether they’re “open” enough, etc., etc). And then they [...]

Exactly two months ago we brought you word of the debut of an ultra-simple Web-based utility of the peer-to-peer milieu, called BitLet. Today, we send you notice of its ongoing evolution.
Whereas prior to this moment one could only use the BitTorrent utility to download files from the Web, BitLet now offers the option to upload data to “the cloud” with little or no trouble just the same. One must only click BitLet’s ‘Upload’ button located at the top [...]

Today we received news that the folks behind Meebo, the very popular Web-based IM client, released an updated website for iPhone users to enjoy. While the company did in fact announce an iPhone-friendly version of its instant messaging client shortly after the official debut of Apple’s handheld, the update is being regarded by numerous bloggers as the development that should’ve been made available from the start.
Apple has no doubt caused a sort of ruckus among a niche of customers frustrated [...]

The Black Hat USA 2007 conference took place in Las Vegas over the four days of July 28 through August 2. Lots of topics and issues were covered, and lots of holes were exploited (for demonstration purposes only, of course), between all the briefings and training sessions.
