Mobile Chat and IM From eBuddy
July 10th, 2007 MobileFreak
Anyone that uses chat or IM (instant messenger) from their cell phone should check out the free mobile service from eBuddy.
eBuddy provides a freely accessible website that lets users chat or IM using their Yahoo!, MSN Messenger, or AIM accounts. Currently in Beta, the service is available in both a desktop version and a mobile version.
Clearly, many mobile phone users find text messaging (SMS) sufficient for quick text communication from their cell phone. But for the increasing number of folks that spend a lot of time using their Instant Messenger (IM) client on their PC, the mobile service will allow them to continue conversations or start new chats while they are out and about.
Be aware that the eBuddy mobile website requires an Internet connection from your cell phone, so any carrier charges will apply.
The desktop version of eBuddy can be particularly useful as well. For example, those pesky company firewalls often prevent the use of the IM client applications while at work. Users can browse over to the desktop version of eBuddy and chat away. Obviously, you should always understand and consider your company policies before using any chat or IM services from work.

I love reading this article because I am an Ebuddy user and I use it all the time in my phone. I just hope that Ebuddy will have a feature where you can login as Invisible when chatting in Facebook. I think they only have the Invisible feature for Yahoo. Ebuddy rocks! Great app!
