Well, ICQ has surpassed 100 million users and claims to be adding a new user each second! AIM, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger are all growing fast, too! Yes, instant messaging is here to stay. Now a new company called fatbubble is preparing to introduce an IM add-on that will let you see where people on your buddy list are surfing!


While this does raise concerns about privacy, you can also surf "invisibly" if you don’t want your friends to see where you’re going...but then, you don’t have anything to hide, do you?



One of the most fun features though, is the ability to comment on where you’re surfing and rate sites. One click, and you can join them there!



Fatbubble works with AIM, ICQ and Yahoo Messenger, and goes into beta testing soon. For more info, or to sign up as a beta tester, go to www.fatbubble.com.
