Has IM Innovation Peaked?
An interesting piece from Internetnews.com. Firstly it made jump right the the Trillian website to look for the plugins mentioned. Then there is my opinion. I see IM going a lot further. Granted Yahoo, AIM, and MSN are probably going to stick to some basic features, maybe add some new things here and there, but I think it is the corporate market where IM is really going to expand. As more and more business realize how efficient and important IM is, they will put more into it. Corporate messages by IM…no unread e-mail being kept on the server. Alerts from corporate databases “An order from your key customer Ms. Jones has come in…” and other information related technologies will certainly bring all of us closer to a Gibson-esque realm of data centric worlds.
