Web-Based Instant Messengers(網頁即時通訊系統)

說到IM，就要講到他的便利性，然而現在IM的Client動輒10M以上
下一個世代的Killer App(Web 3.0?)一定是很輕量化很簡單的，甚至是在本地端不存在的
“讓你幾乎感受不到他的存在\\”
之前閒逛逛到Yahoo! Messenger要開Web-base IM服務的時候有用我的帳號去試了試(之前e-mail是在雅虎併購奇摩之前從美國網站申請的@@不知道台灣版的可不可以登入)

在使用上請務必自行承擔使用那些”非官方\\”網頁所帶來的危險
(之前有個號稱可以查看MSN和Yahoo! Messenger封鎖狀態的網站，其實是個phishing網頁哪XD)
