Locate Your IM Contact With RadiusIM

RadiusIM - Another cool IM Web based Services that allows users to log in using any of their Yahoo, MSN, AIM and Google Talk accounts to check out who's around you and point out using an icon via a embedded Google map.

Basically the concept of RadiusIM is you choose your location, with your friends list on the right and a location map on the center. When friends and IM contacts are online, their icons show up in their specific location on the map. Beside that, RadiusIM has a cool way of just dragging the Google map around the world and seeing which members are located there, whether they are logged in or not.

On the privacy side, all user location within 1/4 mile is actually blurred out so that their precise location can remain semi-hidden.

My Note

RadiusIM Services is more concerntrate on about location and show who's is nearby your area only. Unfortunately, I still keep on trying to sign up the RadiusIM service which still not successful until now ( dun know what happen ) and i can see the serives seem like very slow and always disconnect to server. Anyway, The RadiusIM is a pretty interesting way to see who is around you, or near a certain location. The RadiusIM still an alpha version and i expect see from them. let me know your comment if you use Radius IM before ?
