Introducing the imo network!

Today, we're happy to announce the public beta launch of the imo network!  The imo network is a real-time sharing and discussion social network.  

Now, imo users can create an imo account to gain access to new features such as:

Meet New People: Meet New People lets you contact and chat with users on the imo network from around the world. Make new friends instantly!


Broadcasts: Broadcasts help spark conversations.  Broadcast what's on your mind, share links, or ask questions.  If you see an interesting broadcast, join the real-time discussion.


Public directory: The public directory is a searchable listing of all users on the imo network.  Search the directory by location, interests or school to find interesting people to chat with.

To get started, click here to create an account.  Use your real name on your account so friends can easily find you.  

Next, you will be directed to a page where you can create your imo network profile.  Adding a picture and filling out as many details on your profile as you can will help you meet interesting people.


After you click the “Create my profile” button, you will be directed to imo.im.  Search in the meet new people search bar on the left by interests, school or location to find people online to chat with.  Use the “Directory” at the top of the page to search everyone on the imo network.  

When you find an interesting person you want to chat with, click “Chat’ on their profile.  


The imo network works with the same great features our users have come to love, including:

  • Group chat
  • Group photo sharing
  • Voice IMs
  • File transfer

Below is a short video describing the features of the imo network.


We will be adding the imo network to our mobile apps soon. Stay tuned!
