Palringo going solo and dropping 3rd party IM services

Palringo

Due to feedback on how users are really taking advantage of their app, conversation app Palringo is retiring back up for 3rd party IM services like MSN, AIM, Google Talk and more. The company sent out a notification to users just a niggling while ago directing them to the website to read the full annunciation:

"Further in our move to focus on the features our users dear - our community of groups - we accept decided to pull support for 3rd party instant messaging services. We've noticed that the vast majority of yous no longer employ this characteristic and instead prefer to invite your existing friends to signup to Palringo, which is now easier than e'er."

That's obviously bad news for those who used the app only to connect to other networks only it sounds like the Palringo squad were spreading themselves thin trying to support everybody. In improver, with contest like IM+ out on the market, it seems like Palringo would rather focus on their own IM service.

For those who haven't tried it, Palringo is currently in open-beta on the Windows Phone Market place since February and is now at version 0.seven. Palringo has been around for years and has quite the fan base of operations built upwards, including many from the Windows Mobile heyday. The service is unique in assuasive users to create chat rooms and send voice clips

Try out Palringo hither in the Marketplace (currently, it nonetheless has support for other IM services). For kicks, read our 2009 review for Windows Mobile.
