It's called mo'IM: Logged in? Find the new item in your "my services" menu to the right: open mo'IM. Click on the link and a mini-instant messenger window will open to let you chat with other members and to receive blog update alerts without downloading anything!

This allows those of you who can't download the TipicIM client to have almost the same functionality as the desktop messenger.

Huh? If you're at all confused, just take a look below at February 11th's posting to read about how we have integrated instant messaging with blogging.

passions on parade: Celebrated motime blogger calgal (that's Calgary, thank you very much) is hosting this week's Carnival of the Canucks right here on motime. I thought you might like to know. :)

The Carnival is a showcase of worthwhile posts presented each week by a different Canadian blogger. Vicki has collected and annotated a very eclectic group of links to Canadian blogs with a little something for just about every taste.
