    It’s funny to see that most lines are only in the U.S. Around the world, Windows Live Messenger is the IM that people like to use. It would be neat if developers of WLM could do something like this with Windows Live Maps. That would be awesome.

    Very true, Michael. AIM does not have much of an audience outside of the US. It would be interesting to see a similar network for WLM, Yahoo and some of the others. And even more interesting to overlay them and compare traffic in real time!
