I would like to write one, but need help in how to do so. Any links etc would be helpful. Thanks, Shammy Ganesh,

I'm in agreement regarding the handiness of these tools. The thing I like about a lot of the IM bots is that they provide you with quick access to tasks that should be simple. A quick IM can be more immediate than pulling up a web page, logging in, and submitting a form (assuming you're logged into IM all day). For instance, I run a couple of blog sites and I post a story or two a day, but if I come across things during the work day, it's a lot quicker to post the bookmarks to Meshly. People who are in the same channels will get a sneak peek, and then I can come back to the list and pick my favorites for documenting more in-depth on my other sites. I know a few other people who are using it the same way. A lot of these IM tools really serve an efficiency function. They can help you get your other work done, or at least make your procrastinating take a little less time ;) - Jason from Meshly Thanks for including Meshly in your post!

But nevertheless they seem promising and I would try it out sometime! I don’t spend much time on IMs as I used to a few months ago..
