Cool concept but with flaws
First up, this application tries to be different from many other messaging clients out there, although I personally feel that the outlook may be a little too bulky for the less savvy users. In all, I had a pretty nice experience playing with the Avatar bubble and using a new type of emoticons I dun usually see. The cross connection to Yahoo and MSN was a nice feature and their own protocol was pretty stable.
There are some flaws though, it ran pretty sluggishly on my Windows XP and there are some features missing. For example, they yet to allow file transfers and to allow status changes, the tabs are there, but it doesnt work. The developers probably are getting these features ready for the next release. Some other features are missing but i liked the messaging style, where the user is on the right and the receiver on the left.
Oh and yes, the collapse function is amazing, it collapses into a neat little rectangular block when selected... nifty and nice although it can be improved.
