Rediff Bol
Rediff has released its alpha version of Rediff Bol. It is a cool messenger with indian themes, avatars, smileys and what not.
Well, what makes this special? It was done by my friends :). I discussed with them and they took around 3 months to do this with 3 ppl.
Imagine getting this kind of stuff done in a bigger company with all the overheads of legal, internalization, signoff, reviews, long RI processes, branding limitiations, integration stories (passport :) and hotmail), ding, dong and what not .... I wonder how long msn/yahoo took to get done.
It uses a different approach to communication, so voice works through firewall clients when yahoo merrily fails etc.. Pretty good stuff. More detailed review to come soon...

Hmm... I dont remember ICQ having a local theme. Never used its audio either (does it work?) - these guys audio is pretty great. Skype is another thingy which has great reviews on audio...
BTW, How do you keep track of comments on ur blog? Is there a separate comment feed, that would be useful feature for ppl who blog ;)
