Nimbuzz: Best Developers of 2010
With over 52 percent of the vote, Nimbuzz has won the title of Best IM Developers in the 2010 Reader's Choice Awards.

Readers Pick the Right IM in Honoring Nimbuzz's Developers

Each year, I have the distinct pleasure outside of Best IM to award the most personal award for achievement in the IM industry, the Best IM Developers of the Year title.

This year, our readers have selected Nimbuzz as the holders of this title for 2010, and in doing so honor this team's commitment to excellence, integrity and efficiency in the work they have done in building their client.

After a careful and meticulous review of the Nimbuzz IM client, from Windows OS and Mac, to its exciting Nimbuzz Mobile client which is also honored this year, I can say unequivocally Nimbuzz's developers deserve this title.

When measuring the criteria for this award, readers are asked to consider design, efficiency in use, and technical support in troubleshooting issues and addressing bugs between releases.

With each successive version, Nimbuzz exhibits careful thought by a team that almost certainly designs an IM client that they themselves would like to use; no further explanation could describe the great developments they have made within their own product.

Beginning with its simple, easy-to-use design, for which Nimbuzz is also honored this year, the Buddy List conveys careful consideration for organization and offers the least amount of clutter through the use of tabs, without compromising functionality.

In terms of efficiency, I cannot attest to a single design flaw or bug in its latest version, and believe Nimbuzz is as close to perfect off the shelf than an IM client can get.

Overall, Nimbuzz offers a clean, exciting IM client great for IM users who are just getting started or who have an account on every client.

While many multi-protocol IM clients offer their application for only one operating system, or keep up holding out for other versions for Mac, Linux and more, Nimbuzz developers have created a sphere of their own, with offerings across most platforms and mobile, so we are never far from the Nimbuzz experience.

For their innovation and clear consideration of the consumer in developing this amazing IM, I proudly confirm the voters' choice of Nimbuzz for Best IM Developers of the Year.
