Thanks for the news. I was thinking someone should merge all this, but my test-drive of iBuddy yielded only negative results so far... will give it another shot. @ Andrew Fogerty same here sometimes : MacBlock. Some IM services have added web-based features and also, some of those one can run via iChat/Jabber. Will take this feature piece into account in next VOIP/IM related post (that will happen too one day). So thanks. Hi there. Thanks for the news.

People in schools and workplaces may have issues installing the MySpace native client on shared computers. Often IM ports are blocked, so eBuddy brings MySpace IM to them. Since I'm a mac user, Myspace chat was not available for this platform and now it is! Nice going eBuddy!
