Bleep has its own website- http://www.bleep.pm/ and it has already been reviewed by Softpedia- http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/C ... leep.shtml but I haven't tested it for two reasons- first, Bleep is offered only as online installer and I don't trust such installers, and second, I do not trust anything developed by BitTorrent Inc since this company has a history of bundling third-party ad-ware in their products.
About Odigo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odigo_MessengerOdigo was purchased for an estimated $20 million by the Israeli company Comverse Technology in 2002. Comverse leveraged Odigo server software for instant messaging solutions in cell phones. However, since Comverse had no real interest in maintaining a generic IM service, it eventually shut down the free service in 2004, abandoning millions of loyal users.
I really enjoyed Odigo and I was very sad when the service was closed since it was fun to use. While using Odigo I made several good acquaintances and I lost these contacts after the service was shut down. Corporations tend to destroy messengers after they purchase it, AOL did their best to ruin ICQ, which was once extremely popular (at least here in Europe) and Digsby was abandoned after it was acquired (later it was open-sourced but I don't think there will ever be a new version), MySpace once also offered messaging service but it seems to have been discontinued too. I do not want my communication to be a hostage to corporations and their whims since this happened too often in the past- Odigo, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk (I do not want Hangouts) and Skype (since it was acquired by M$ I no longer trust it, I do not like its design and it has turned into ad-ware to boot).
