1 billion instant messages are sent out each day, crossing the 900 million items sent through the postal service. Developed only a few years ago, the number of instant messages is already nearing the 1.9 billion phone calls placed each day. Beginning with the younger generation, instant messenger has become the communication system of choice to keep in touch with friends and family, and even to meet new people.

The instant message market is witnessing a phenomenal growth and is estimated to grow from 250 million users worldwide in 2001 to around 500 million in 2004, a growth rate of 100%. By that time, the number of messages sent will approach two trillion annually. Instant messaging is not only a trend, but a changing face of communication technology

However, the lack of interoperability drastically limits how people communicate with one another through instant messaging applications; only those who are on the same network are able to use instant messaging effectively to reach each other. This creates "islands" of users within the Internet. In addition, there's very little chance anyone will want to use a new and innovative instant messaging product that can't talk to others already on the market. The danger of this island phenomenon is an even greater problem when one recognizes that the emerging body of wireless Instant Messenger users is projected to equal or eclipse the number of PC-based users in upcoming years Instant Messaging Interoperability with AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo. Cross platform availability. Reliable and Scalable.
