Abstract
Methods and systems for an interoperable message service allow users of a community-based platform to send an instant message to another user through any one of multiple message service platforms, and to allow the user to access and utilize the interoperable message service from a standard networked computer, or from a connected mobile device, such as a mobile phone.
