A flash based instant messenger program may be in the works for blogs4me.com. With a show of hands who would be interested in using a feature like this on the site before I dedicate the next week to it?
If you go for something, go for the gold man. You've already got something that when it catches on it'll be worth it for everyone... but I'd say work on the site before external programs.
In any case, if you do the messenger right, and make it user friendly... I'd probably use it. :)
Im all for the IM program. I also like the new home page with the list of new blogs rather than the random ones. After the IM project can I make one suggestion, have a preview of the blogs and comments that you are commenting on while the comment window is open. That would help attention deprived people like me remember what the hell I was going to say.
