Goowy adding web-based IM, file storage
Goowy, a personalized
home page site whose main distinguishing feature until now has been its Flash-based interface, is planning to add some
more compelling features soon, namely instant messaging and online file storage. According to TechCrunch's Michael
Arrington the file storage feature will be through Box.net using its new API and
include up to 1GB storage (with a crappy 5MB-per-file limit), and the IM component will work with all the major IM
networks (a la Meebo). Head over to TechCrunch for a
screenshot of the new IM feature.Speaking of Google Talk and personalized home pages, though, it seems odd to me that Google has yet to integrate its own IM service with its own Personalized Home. Perhaps they're working on it.

Its quite easy to upgrade to the 5gb, unlimited upload limit for free using box.net. Just requires 5 referrals. Not a bad deal at all considering they are ad-free. I just managed to upgrade myself yesterday. I'm very pleased with it overall especially with netvibes offering a module for it.
