I just watched the demo and overall I think this is really cool. I
love the interfaces with Flickr and esp the Forward option that lets
users stay connected at all times. The video in the IM window is also
pretty cool. As a IM user myself however I don't usually take
advantage of the calling and texting features available to me since i
have most of my friend list in my cell phone and just use that medium.
I'm supposing that these features of IM are something your users take
advantage often. Correct assumption?
