Run Yahoo! Messenger for the Web Inside It's Own Browser Tab |
"This evening I decided to play with a really kewl new app called Fluid. What this app does is allow you to create Site Specific Browsers. One of the first usages which popped into mind was a product I helped develop, Yahoo! Web Messenger. An annoyance of mine with it is that it had to live in a browser tab, something prone to getting closed accidentally, and also didn’t have any decent notifications of new messages when not in focus. Being the perfect candidate for Fluid, IMHO, I set out to give it a shot. In less than an hours time I built a pretty kewl demo and here’s how you can use it too.

"...In honor of Earth Day (3 weeks from today: April 22, 2008), on that day our Google Talk servers will start automatically sending your conversations using IM-speak instead of normal words. But you can help save some computing power (and more wasted energy!) by shortening your conversations yourself.Continue reading : Google Talk goes green
We know you'll all want to practice your IM-speak, so we're helping by introducing a new translation bot, en2im@bot.talk.google.com, which will translate your conversations into IM-speak, to help you get used to the new lingo.
...
For example, if we want to say:
As far as I'm concerned, you can give me the twenty dollars you owe me when I see you later.
You could save more than 50% in wasted characters by saying:
AFAIC, U can gve me the 20 $$ YOM whn I CUL8R."
