I’ll here offer you some alternatives to desktop IM clients like Live Messenger,Yahoo Messenger and others which will allow you to IM without leaving your sweet browser. You’ll be able to surf,reply to your mails,read your favourite blogs while being in conversation with your friends and relatives simultaneously. The added benefit to IM within your browser is that you can be sign into several IM services at the same time, talk to your brother on Jabber, discuss stuffs with your friends on MSN Messenger while chit-chatting with others on lots of other such IM services.

    Thanks ….

    U mean that even though I’ll be online, I would be able to chat with the sole difference that the people in my member list won’t know that I am online …
