T-Mobile, Kinko's detail hot spot plans | CNET News.com

Some more info on the service that I applauded in April.

"The first wave of Kinko's installations will be in North Texas, Northern and Central California, New Jersey and New York. Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., will be among the regions that the companies will focus on by the beginning of next year."

Yahoo IM interoperability?

From last week's Yahoo user survey:

"Yahoo Messenger is considering introducing a new service that would allow you to use Yahoo Messenger to communicate with users of other instant messaging services such as AOL, MSN, or ICQ." "This premium Messenger service as described above would be offered along with the current free Messenger features for a small and appropriate fee."

Will it happen? Probably. When? My guess is early 2004. Is it a good thing? Yes oh yes! When IM is truly interoperable we will finally be able to take a proper look at the true potential of the technology and its business uses.
