If you’re like me, you want your apps and information to be portable. This is why I don’t just rely on a single app or device for my communication needs. For instant messaging, I’ve found IMO to be a fairly capable client that can work on a variety of platforms.

Popular instant messenger app “imo” has just received quite the useful update. Imo has added two new sharing options: NFC for profile sharing between devices — by holding them back to back — and location sharing between friends. As far as NFC goes, imo is supporting the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S III (S3), HTC One X and Nexus 7. Anyone who is using a standalone app for managing multiple chat clients is likely interested in knowing where friends are at — and vice versa — so its a good thing that you can now report your location, either exactly or roughly, to your friends.

More than just your basic free texting service, imo allows you to message friends and family on most instant messaging networks — Facebook Chat, Google Talk, Skype and AIM — by allowing you to sync your accounts. It also allows users to send emoticons, photos, video, and voice messages for free. Noted features include group chats, push notifications, and voice calling, which Android and iOS users can utilize without using plan minutes.
