Imo is a popular online instant messaging tool that enables you to
sign on to the main IM networks and chat with your buddies right from
your web browser.
But if even in the Web 2. 0 era you still prefer good old desktop
apps, you may use the desktop Imo as well. This special version is just
an adaptation from the original online Imo to a standard Windows
application.
To be honest, Imo is quite limited compared to other popular IM
clients. It's got quite a plain interface, no support for emoticons and
no customizing options for fonts, colors and other settings that we find
in similar applications.
But I have to admit that it does its job just fine: you can connect
to the most popular IM networks (MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk amd AIM) from one
single interface and talk to any of your friends, whether they belong to
one or another network.
If you need to talk to people on more than one IM network,
Imo does the trick, but bear in mind that it offers no extended
functionality such as emoticons, colors and other goodies.
