Okay. IMified Rocks!
I started playing around with IMified a few months ago when it launched, but haven’t used it again until today. When I first used it, I thought that it would be much more useful if they allowed others to develop on top of it. Looks like they did just that by introducing a very simple API for users to create their own services on top.
The best part about their API is it’s super simple and you host the service yourself. You can create a service just for yourself or a public service that can be shared with the rest of the world. It’s all very, very cool.
This (along with Twitter) is a game changer in the IM world (I think). IM can be the new command line for the internet. Here are some ideas of what services can be built on top of IMified (from their site):
- Price checker
- Movie listings
- TV listings
- Budget manager
- Deal Search
- Sports scores
- POP email
- Finance
- Language translator
- Domain search
- WiFi hotspot finder
- Dictionary
