/24-7PressRelease/ -- Busting open the constraints of traditional IM platforms, radiusIM has redefined the instant messaging (IM) experience with a true Open IM website that allows users to develop location-based real-time communities with anyone on their completely Open network. Aggregating IM platforms from all major networks including AIM, Yahoo, MSN, GTalk, and Facebook this location-aware, web-based online application is particularly attractive for power IMers interested in messaging and connecting with a single friend, a group of friends, or completely new connections all over the world.
Unlocking the IM experience
Heard a rumor that your favorite indy band will be touring but donâEUR t know where theyâEUR re playing and want to canvas other fans to see where to go? Excited about a big opening for the new Transformer flick and want to pump up other movie buffs to get them to the theatre? Planning a trip to Brazil and want some local advice on the hot spots? On radiusIM, you can invite everyone on their Open IM network to participate in a real-time discussion. By combining the functionality of a traditional IM experience with irresistible features designed for power IMers, radiusIM is driving the evolution of IM. Giving users the power to connect with completely new IMers in realtime can only happen on the radiusIM platform.
radiusIM has also joined forces with SkyHook Wireless making it possible to automatically determine a userâEUR s location in real-time. As radiusIMâEUR s Open IM network continues to evolve, future applications will take them into the mobile space.
Unlike other IM services, radiusIM allows users to control their nearby radius on a map by dragging, zooming-in, and zooming-out to get location-specific information on whoâEUR s online in a particular area. Users also have the option to view the location of other radiusIM users on the interactive map, make connections and even initiate discussions in group chat rooms with virtually anyone in the crowd. Additional filtering enables users to connect with like-minded IMers based on a number of search criteria as well as geography.
RadiusIM: Expanding fast
RadiusIM launched its beta site in 2006. Today, they have a captive audience and are growing rapidly with over 3.5 million registered users. RadiusIM users spend over one hour per day on radiusIM and have been the catalyst to the siteâEUR s gain in popularity; to date, 100% of the growth of radiusIM is due to word-of-mouth and viral referrals.
