Paranoid as I am, I am wondering whether or not "Instant Messaging" and/or "IM" aren't somehow trademarked. I surely hope not. But if it were, PIMP would be in the danger zone ;-(

How about "Pyama"? "Perl's Yet Another Message Application".

In Dutch it means "nightgown", but who cares. It definitely is not descriptive for what it does.
