A Palo Alto, Calif., startup called Imeem unveiled yesterday a service that combines instant messaging, blogging, photo sharing, file sharing and desktop search.
The software's instant messaging feature enables one-on-one chat or secure group chat. Imeem's photo sharing feature loads pictures stored on your desktop. You can also create Yahoo-style groups for people who share specific interests.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the service is currently by invitation only. The company plans to select specific groups, such as fans of a specific sports team, and invite them to use the service. (Groups interested may contact info@imeem.com to request an invitation).
"Imeem assembles many of the ways we communicate today -- through instant messaging, blogs, files, photos and chats -- in one secure place," said Jan Jannink, Co-Founder and President of Imeem, which introduced its software Sunday at the DEMO Conference.
Imeem was founded by veterans from VA Linux, IBM, Napster, TiVo, Silicon Graphics and Electronic Arts.
