radiusIM saves the day !!

Found out this new site for connecting to IM's. Its another Meebo kinda thing. I would have never moved away from Meebo but then our university guys who found out about this blocked it ( yea... my university doesnt allow IM...no Gtalk,Yahoo!Messenger MSN or any of its kind).

When i was searching for alternatives for Meebo! i found this browser based chat client radiusIM. what makes it unique from the rest is its ability to show users in the locality u choose (using google maps). unlike the chat rooms provided by yahoo! Messenger..here u get to scroll through the map and select people you would like to chat. call it another social networking site with added features. play the video on the homepage of radiusIM and you will know what i am talking about.

few features that i liked :
-- can connect to any of these IM's simultaneously (AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, GTalk (jabber))
-- Log chat on a secure server (ofcourse you have to trust them)
-- A new dimension to social networking
-- Filters to the people whom you would like to show on the map (age, sex and locality)
-- ability to save more than one locality
-- upload pics and write stuff about you
and many more which i am also not aware :)
