We want to create a gateway to send personalized messages to specific Instant Messaging users. The gateway must be compatible with MSN Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo messenger and Jabber/Gtalk. This gateway will be a component of an existing platform. The variables will be the "instant messaging" users (emails) and the message that will be stored in a MySQL platform.
