This is useful for those of us that don't want to load four different apps (Yahoo, AOL, MSN, and ICQ IM) on every machine we use (hopefully one day they will add Skype, making it five). A very interesting startup indeed.

Apparently the company is soliciting resumes from people that have the technical expertise and (lucky) circumstances to find the "secret" email address. An old school trick, but I love it.
