I do the Instant message client thing from time to time. I actually have all of them installed right now so that I can figure out which one is best. Unfortunately, that is really hard sometimes because most people I know either use AIM or Yahoo messenger. Well, this one called Meetro (who it was rumored was bought by Google, then that got shot down) is made to use your proximity to find friends. Here is how it works, you put in your location and it sets up a list of people within a certain amount of miles around you that are on the client at that time. Really neat for laptop users. I mean, how cool would it be to be at Panera, and find another Ubergeek sitting across the way to talk tech with. Pretty cool. And you can use it as a multi client with Yahoo, AIM, and MSN. Although Yahoo is giving me a little bit of trouble with it. But it is neat. It would also be really nice if you were in a city where you didn’t know anyone and needed to know the best place for some good loaded potato soup. A local would know.
