Welcome to Something for Nothing

I recently blogged about Meebo: the web IM program. Well, it turns out there not the only Web Messenger program out there. I came across KoolIM today. Of course anything that says Kool I had to take a look at. I think that all started with things like Kool-Aid. I don’t like their interface that much. There are too many ads on the page and the IM login isn’t completely apparent. It is pretty neat that you can login to all the different messengers at the same time. I did have a little problem getting MSN messenger to work. It didn’t login correctly. Also, the logout confused me. It just said it was logged out. No links to another page or anything. That seems odd that the first page is so ad focused and the sign out it so blank.

I still think it’s great technology. I’m not sure what the revenue model for the site is, but I could see it being an expensive application with very little revenue generation. Plus, I’m not sure what company would buy it out since almost all of the major IM software companies have their own individual ones.
