eBuddy is web and mobile messaging for everyone, everywhere.
eBuddy created the world’s first independent web browser-based IM service in 2003 and extended the service to mobile in June 2007.
eBuddy is available in over 30 languages and is currently processing nearly 10 billion messages per month. eBuddy’s patent-pending technology enables more than 23 million unique monthly visitors with AIM, Facebook, Gtalk, ICQ, MySpace, MSN Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo! IM accounts to chat free of charge in one interface.
eBuddy is also one of the world’s fastest growing mobile IM services with over 9 million unique monthly mobile users, and offers four mobile IM versions: eBuddy Mobile Messenger (J2ME), eBuddy Lite Messenger (mobile Web), and the native applications, eBuddy for iPhone and eBuddy for Android.
eBuddy received the 2008 Crunchies Award for Best International Company, and was a finalist for Best Mobile Application EMEA at the 2009 TechCrunch Europas Awards.
Based in Amsterdam, London and San Francisco, eBuddy is a privately held company backed by Prime Technology Ventures and Lowland Capital Partners.
