[...] Simkl, IM history backup opens yesterday. Simkl, IM history-saving service, is opening its doors to the public today. What Simkl does is allow users to save their instant messenger conversations for your personal use at a later date. Your history is automatically saved on Simkl’s servers. The service can track conversations from multiple IM networks and multiple computer installations all in one place. If you ever want to delete message history, you can do that as well. The company assures us that it is serious about your data’s privacy and it never asks for passwords to your accounts. The most valuable feature of Simkl is its search capability, which is impossible in the other service. Simkl is compatible with just about every IM client such as Windows Live Messenger, AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo. Simkl doesn’t currently work with online IM services like Meebo, which keeps a log of the conversations on its site anyway. Whether or not it would be in Meebo’s interest to partner up, Simkl is willing to work with any web-based service to store messages through an API. Source: Mashable! and TechCrunch [...]

Hi, thanks for your comment everyone.

to: Max

We already have a big audience who trust their personal information on a portal http://a.ua which has over a million unique users a month who trusts us with their e-mail accounts. And we based in NEW-York, not ukraine\russia, and all of our servers are in US except CDN. We are also translating our website to all every other language from English. Ukrainian\Russian translations were made faster than others.

I’d like to say that there are only about 100 invites left for TechCrunch, so hurry up and grab them while there are still any left.

Trusting some slavic (ukranian/russian?) startup with all you IM conversations? Thanks, I’ll pass!

This just makes me think of a saying (translated from spanish) “You own what you’re quiet about and slave of what you say”

No way I’ll be using this service anytime soon.

Nice tool to organize all IM conversation but it should be secured enough.

If it _really_ works – its great.

If you have a lot of IM converstations (from notebook, desktope and mobile) – its is really convenient to keep history in one place.

They should have someone with a better grasp of the English language write the text on the website…. the grammar could use polish. Besides that – pizdets!

Every Fake Steve Ballmer deserves to be there too.

Has anybody tried to use Simkl on a mobile device? Does it works?

This is exactly what IMSmarter.com did, which David Weekly ran before focusing on PBWiki.

In fact, it’s about half or less of what IMSmarter did.

“Simkl”? Are companies naming themselves by rolling Boggle dice?
