Demands/Suggestions for PG-IM!!!

[Neo2000]

Aloha,
Everybody knows that PG has just launched a new IM.Ok,he is going to launch sometime soon. A few of us pagals have been given the lucky(?) job(?) of testing the new IM.

We realise that among us, we'll come with a few suggestions and lotsa bugs.But I doubt that we'll be able to think up everything. YOU are the end-user . You have to tell us what you want and what you dont want to see in the new IM.

So, let the Games begin!!!

Barring the last suggestion (sending messages to mobile), the IM already meets (and surpasses) all your demands..it's a piece of marvel..I can't tell you how good it is...shhh..I won't let out any more secrets

Cheers!

Most important demand: It should have -><- in the emoticons unlike other IMs.

IM shud have some "broadcast message" facility...
Something like sending an announcement to a number of users simultaneuosly..
Also what about offline messages..? This should be a must...

ShoutBox and PM will be less used then I feel....

Ummm...hmmm...u know,the poorana wala Y! had the feature of downloading Y! mssgr skins. I had a nice blue horse against the moonlight backdrop as mine

Can we have skins that can be customised? Mebbe we'd need to have an online database of skins for that...

Hey,

the emoticons,the variety of skins to choose from,the different modes of visibilityand the broadcasting facility.
Also does it have a file sharing capability?
Is expecting to have voice chat capability a bit too much?

Just wondering whether the new IM could be used to divert some of the load that the ShoutBox generates on a regular basis( ). Maybe we could transfer all that (much needed) shouting over to the IM.
