SHAPE Services builds IM+, a cross-platform mobile messaging application that aggregates multiple chat networks into one interface. IM+ integrates with Facebook Chat, Twitter, MSN Live Messenger, Skype IM, Google Talk, AOL, ICQ and others. The app has 17.5 million users and delivers about 800 million mobile ad impressions per month. The company raised $10 million from Russian investment firm Finam and will form a FinamShape joint venture to launch a localized plus.im web messenger for the Russian market. As part of the deal the company will shorten its name to Shape. Last year SHAPE Services acquired CrispApp, the Hong Kong-based developer of the fone iOS app.
