somethingme.com - Post to your blog via Instant Messenger

David Czarnecki: Good morning folks. Mark and I are pleased to announce somethingme.com. Just in time for Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference and JavaOne.
somethingme is a set of services for information creation, aggregation and exchange across devices, protocols, and services. The first available service allows you to interact with your blog via AOL(TM) Instant Messenger.

They say that a weblog is a personal, instant, and world-wide publishing system. David and Mark are putting the emphasis on instant with the new somethingme.com service. Very cool! It should work with Roller as Roller supports XML-RPC and Metaweblog API, but I have not had a chance to try it yet. Congratulations to David and Mark!
