blog
Some of you may remember a blog post from last year about some projects we were considering. We mentioned that we wanted to keep adding support for new protocols. A few weeks ago, we introduced MySpace IM. Today, we added a connector to Skype!
As a further bonus, we are trying out experimental support for voice calls to your Skype contacts. Since call quality is not yet perfect, we do not yet allow calls to phone numbers or "SkypeOut" buddies. You can, however, call any of your Skype friends who may not yet be on imo.im. If you want to try out a call, click on the "Skype Test Call" buddy, and select "Start Call" in the conversation window, which now appears next to the webcam function. A call window should pop up. Make sure that you allow imo.im to access your microphone, or your voice will not be heard.
Our Skype and MySpace connectors are still in their early stages, so please inform us about any problems you encounter by clicking the "Send us Feedback" link at the bottom of the imo homepage. We welcome any suggestions for improvements.
