FaceBook IM - (Similar) and a Video Chat by jam4star

Looking for someone to make a similar IM for my social networking site like what is on FaceBook - you will use the APE Ajax Push Engine for this project. The website will have thousands of users using this IM and therefore we need it to utilize server resource very well... (Budget: $750-1500, Jobs: AJAX, C/C++, PHP, Python, Ruby/Ruby on Rails)
