IMified and that Twitter idea

A short while back, I posted about the possibility of Twitter becoming an input modality and a information delivery service. I just found IMified (via LifeHacker), and it sounds like it does a lot of the things I was envisioning, but uses IM directly as the transport, rather that Twitter. They seem to have several interesting points of integration (look at the icons in the main graphic) already.

One thing that will be interesting to see is whether they strive to provide an additional integration across the multiple services that they talk to.

I still think Twitter would provide a more useful layer of integration since it allows various input (including IM) and output methods. I’ll probably sign up for a free IMified account to evaluate it and post some thoughts later.
