Use eBuddy.com to chat with MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and AIM buddies for free from anywhere

Posted on July 2, 2007 at 9:19 pm

eBuddy is for those college or high school people who probably have 3 or 4 different instant messaging programs installed on their computers, but aren’t always at their computers. The web-based messaging program basically allows you to log into AIM, Yahoo, or MSN messenger through your web browser for free.

All you need is JavaScript enabled on your browser and you’re ready to go. eBuddy can pass through firewalls also, so if your company or school blocks instant messaging client applications, you might be able to get away with this for a while (until they block the site)! eBuddy even has a cool mobile version of the program so that you can chat with your friends on these networks through your cell phone, PDA, Sony PSP, or Nintendo DS.

Once you login with your username and password, you’ll get a popup window with all of your contacts, similar to the IM interfaces. You can login as Invisible and even change your status to Busy, Not at Home, etc. The web messenger also has emoticons similar to that particular chat client. You’ll notice when you log into Yahoo, you’ll see some of the same animated emoticons as in the Yahoo messenger application. It even has the Buzz feature of Yahoo that shakes the window and makes a loud sound.

If none of your friends are online and you’re bored, you can click on any of the buttons along the left side to entertain yourself. TD is for finding tickets to concerts, etc, YouTube is for watching the YouTube video of the day, the mobile phone with the song note has links to the latest ringtones and songs for your mobile phone, and I think you get the picture now.

It’s still in beta, so if you’re someone using Google Talk or some other chat client, it may be added to the list in the coming months. Of course this service is free, but you have to look at a bunch of ads to compensate!

    Nice review, but eBuddy released a new web version, which is 10 times better I think.
