I was going to write a detailed post on imeem [via], the Flickr / Blogger / Myspace / MSN would-be killer with a ridiculous name, but I’m not so sure it’s worth my time (and support didn’t feel like answering my email requesting some clarifications). The website looks good, the convergence works pretty fine (besides blogging / photologging / podcasting on imeem, you can also import your blog and Flickr account’s RSS feeds to display on your public profile), but it relies on client-side software to generate the pages, only loading from their servers encrypted data rather than HTML pages, and the OS X client lags far behind in terms of functionality. Considering the client essentially a web browser that generates its own pages, I don’t see how hard it could be to move the HTML generation into a cross-platform library that could be updated simultaneously on all OSes.
