Can anyone tell me how to send imessages from my icloud acct?

[iMore Question]

I was told that you can send imessages from logging into your icloud acct. is this true? and how would I do it.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. When you log into iCloud, I don't even see a 'Messages' option.
And to add, I just Googled this, and it seems you'd have to use an 'online app' to make this work...

You can use your iCloud email address. Maybe that's what it's talking about.
