    This is super. I have multiple accounts and was always wondering how this can be achieved. Nice blog you have. Found through one of the blogs on blogadda. Will this also save my chat transcripts in individual accounts?

    Nice blog Devil..
    btw just you should always quote the source otherwise it could appear as ’stealing’ which I am sure was not your intention.
