Top Web Based Instant Messengers

There was a time when instant messengers were a few hundred KB per client, and there weren’t too many. Today, there are three major chat clients—MSN/Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk—and while Google Talk is small enough right now, it’s only a matter of time before it bloats into the 20mb package that the other two are almost competing to reach. If you’re done with all the stupid extras like IMvironments and Winks, and all you want to do is chat, then consider using a web-based messenger that works purely in your web browser, without needing any download or installation.
Let me introduce you all to some of the best web based instant messengers available today on the internet.
