IMified is pleased to announce the launch of our hosted services available through the IMified platform. Now anyone can create an IM bot just as easily as creating a web application.

We’re convinced that the ubiquity and ease of use of IM makes it important for everyone to IMify their web apps. So we’ve created a platform that makes it fast and simple to create and deploy IM integration that runs over multiple networks. A simple RESTful API allows you to add IM capabilities to your existing application using the programing tools, techniques, and server components you’re already using for your web site.

You don’t need to build a web server to create a great web app. You shouldn’t have to build an IM server to create a great IM app.

We want everyone to be able to add IM to their sites, so we’ve created a pricing structure that allows anyone to get involved. You can create widgets that run in the IMified bot for free or get your own Jabber/Gtalk ID for as little as $10 a month. For more serious usage, we offer upgraded services that can handle the needs of the most demanding bot.

Want to IMify your app? Check out our developer pages for details on the API, our pricing, and to sign up. The service is in a limited beta right now, but if you leave your contact details, we’ll send you an invite as slots open up.

For those of you who have taken advantage of the now deprecated widget API , your widgets will continue to function as normal. We’ll send you details on how you can take advantage of the new API as we get closer to opening up the platform, however you may request an invite to the beta if you’d like a sneak peak.
