Nice. Looks like a copy of http://simkl.com. I wish they could support my Pidgin :(

Simkl is stll in closed beta, plus it doesn’t support as many IM clients as IM-History. So it’s highly unlikely that these guys copied them. As about Pidgin, IM-History supports it as well, but only Linux version.

Its great software, the one I was searching for. But I am afraid of using it. I am waiting this software reviewed by cnet editors before I use it.
