IMified, the the tool that lets you interact with web applications via your instant messaging client, now offers hosted services through its platform. This means you can create an IM bot for yourself. While this may be super exciting to a lot of developers, not everyone can try it just yet. It's currently in limited beta, but feel free to sign up for an invite. As spots open up, more developers will be granted access.
With the new IMified developers platform, you could create an application for your very own web service, which could be nearly anything, from a task management network to a personal calendar tool. With IMified's offering, the necessity to create an IM server is removed, and allows you to merge your existing application with IMified's tools so you can let your end users interact with your application directly through their instant messenger client.
