Instant Messenger
Wouldn't it be great for mac to have thier own instant messenger service that works on a worldwide status...similar to MSN. I love Redezvous, and Bonjour, but that only works with othe Mac users on the same network. I think it would be hott to have iMessenger with better features than MSN's.
What do you guys think?

Are you suggesting this thread should have gone in the Present Software forum instead?
2. Bonjour is nice, but it only works on LAN's (AFAIK). And iChat already supports this anyway.
3. Use Adium X, you get everything Apple would have made, plus a whoooole lot more.

1. Apple doesnt need to make their own IM protocol, there are LOTS already, and they've already started supporting AIM (.Mac) & jabber.

this is true... i can talk to a lot of people w/ my ichat w/ a whole bunch of people who dont use macs... the only IM i cant get is yahoo.. and i never cared for msn...
Step 3) Profit.
