I have been tracking Wambo for past couple of months and have been impressed with their confidence to carry on in the one of the toughest area to grow- client based Instant Messenger. In case you haven’t heard about Wambo, its IM client can connect you to GTalk, Yahoo, AIM, and MSN networks all in one place for free(unlike Trillian). Wambo has also built a group messaging feature with complete message history that enables to you to carry on discussions whenever you log back into your account. In addition to these features, Wambo claims that its speedbooster technology allows photo and video files transfers at a rate10-100x times faster than any other comparable client.
The new feature released by Wambo today would definitely spread the word around faster for them. Wambo’s new chat-box widget enables people to IM you without you having to add them to your contacts list. You can embed the code in your blog or MySpace or Facebook or use it in your email signature to get chatting anonymously. Since clicking on the widget or link brings up a Wambo chat widow, people on the other don’t have to install Wambo client. As for privacy, you can give out your actual username or use one of the anonymous URL generated by Wambo.
I think Wambo chatbox is a much better option compared to MeeboMe widget which also serves a similar purpose. All the messages at Wambo get delivered to you in the plain old IM message popup way, while at Meebo new messages sometimes go unnoticed or you might unexpectedly get logged off and miss messages.
Lets chat on Wambo!
