FINANCIAL EXPRESS — Nov 12 — Imeem is a free software tool/web service. "Meems" are virtual meeting places or groups within imeem that users can design and others can join. A form of P2P (peer-to-peer) technology blends the social networking with instant messaging, blogging (creating an online diary), online file sharing and desktop search into a single package. Members seek out others with similar interests and build meems which remain on a user's hard drive rather than being uploaded to a third-party server. Users create their own imeem identity, building their imeem network by sending friends and colleagues Invitations. Contacts appear in a "buddy list." Users can also see their friends "buddy lists." Corporate users could use the software to create secure collaborative networks.
