do your blocked contacts show as blocked on this app as most of the im apps do not recognise contacts are blocked

Blocked users/privacy lists on ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GoogleTalk will be respected. They will not be marked as blocked in instango's contact list though.

Blocking on instango users is currently not possible.

One of the next updates will include support for privacy lists. Using the instango privacy lists it will be possible to block/hide from users on any of the networks. Blocking through these lists will be shown in the contact list.

Anyone ever wondered why there are SO MANY mobile instant messaging apps and all of them do the same thing? Seems like a saturated market to me

This is the first IM app I've tried so far and it looks promising. I'm not much of a "lonely cat" fan.

Mobile messaging and SMS text messaging while you have a phone in your hand kinda defeats the purpose of even having a phone doesn't it?

I can just imaging next generations not being able to communicate by voice or in person simply because of their dependance on text messaging. Atleast we know the illiteracy rates won't be dropping.

True, I'll guess they'll have to rewrite all the books to short txt version.
