Another Web-Based IM That Rocks: KoolIM

By admin July 11th, 2006

In Web 2.0 'more' of something is usually a bad thing, but I think web-based-bring-em'-all-together IMs actually have it the exact opposite: they're doing what the companies behind the original IMs are too stupid to do themselves — to integrate with each other — and that's good. KoolIM launched today, just as a reminder competing against Meebo, Mabber and eBuddy, and I think they're a pretty close tie with Meebo. If they didn't open a popup, I think they would indeed be better — hats off to them for getting it right on the most part the first time.

Why they just copy IMUNITVE’s look and feel, without meaning e.g. copy imunitive GIM’s menu bar without anything inside ?

please see http://www.imunitive.com or their userguide http://www.imunitive.com/gimuserguide.html

Lots of people ask my oppinion about who is the best in instant messaging.
Here’s my 2 cents:

1. http://www.meebo.com ( alternatives- http://www.meebo.us” or http://www.meebo.biz )

2. http://www.imunitive.com (alternatives- http://www.imunitive.co.uk )

3. http://www.imhaha.com – supports QQ as a bonus-( alternatives- http://www.imhaha.net)

4. http://www.e-buddy.com (alternatives -http://www.e-buddy.us)

5. http://www.koolim.com (strong newcomer) -(alternatives-http://www.koolim.us)

6. http://www.goowy.com – ( alternatives-http://www.goowy.us , http://www.goowy.info , http://www.goowy.biz)
7. http://www.mabber.com ( alternatives-http://www.mabber.us )

8. http://www.wablet.com ( really strong competitor for the first places-still in Alpha- ) – ( alternatives- http://www.wablet.us )

I’m not a fan of koolim.com. I’ve never used it for more than an hour because it just annoys the hell out of me… it’s a very unimaginative application which just copied the basic function of meebo, applied its own uncreative user interface, and presented it as a new application. I wouldn’t be surprised if koolim didn’t make it big.
Amanda

Well I love kool IM and i beleive they will make it big. It’s a great site and it will become even better.
Bill

nice site, i agree with amanda, i use koolim also.

[...] Meebo’s notable competitors include KoolIM, eBuddy, RadiusIM, and Mabber. Another interesting fact about Meebo is that it is supposedly programmed in C++, a rare choice for such a tool in today’s world. Oh, and congratulations to the 500,000th user, who is now the proud owner of a Meebo t-shirt. Let’s just hope whoever it is isn’t caught wearing it around the school computer lab! [...]

I don’t like koolim.com…. there’s nothing to like about it… really.
amber

we actually did a lot of research on ads, its not a bad option, everyone uses ads, at this time after our research, we ebelieve that ads is to early and not the best route for our user base at this time.
Samer

on every forum i see a message from nico and than one of duke come on.

anyhow, thank you for your feedback and comments.
duke

Of course…I’m not alone..but we always sign with our names…
And about ads…you are right,is too early…if you can,try to don’t be the first one in using ads on your IM.

Thanks for now,
Duke.

Funny,

Ebuddy, the biggest uses ADS Iloveim.com, the third biggest uses ADS, Messengerfx, a new comer uses ADS.

There is nothing wrong with using ADS, if the users like the service, they will come back, its that simple, google has ads, thats how they make all thier money, same with most other web properties
