Hi I'm new to this forum. The other day I got this idea for a program. Here it is :

All the instant messengers, be it yahoo, msn, gtalk etc. have one shortcomming; the user of a yahoo messenger can't send an im to an msn user; unlike emails which can be sent from any server to any other without any problem. So I thought why not make a utility which when installed will allow any user to send an im to any other user who may or may not have the same messenger. I wanted to find relavent information from the web and I stumbled upon here. I know only C/C++ with some win32 api as well. Can anyone tell me where can I find some useful stuff?
