eBuddy.com - The ajax msn/aim/yahoo you wish was Flash

“The battle of the Ajax web chat services took a new turn today when old-school E-messenger.net relaunched as Ebuddy.com.” says techcrunch.

Clearly the interface looks a bit buggy to me… I wonder what kind of API they use to connect to msn/aim and such? Is that even authorised?

Where is the flash one?! :)

Anyone interested coding that with me? I’d do the design. It would be sexy - apple - shiny - roundedcorners - web2.0 beloved.

Probably they use the same backend as meebo: ‘libgaim’ (aka Gaim with all the UI code stripped out, only keeping the network code). Though there are various other free open-source libraries that do this also, i think gaim is the only one that has all the networks combined into one.

Obviously you can’t connect directly to IM servers from ajax (due to various shortcomings in xmlhttprequest), so they must be connecting to their own server, which then connects to the IM servers
