What is MathIM and how does it make chatting about math easier?

My friend recently discovered MathIM, an integrated LaTeX coding to chatting, and you can chat online with a simple URL you send to your friend, its magnificent. It still needs some tweaking as it goes a bit slow, but the whole concept is something I had been looking for, its quicker, and easier, specially when talking to friends about math haha, I hope you can enjoy this as much as I do:

For those with a TabletPC, you can bypass the LaTeX and just use Ink
