Forum Instant Messaging

Post by cmonkey »

For all of us poor schmucks out here who are stuck at computers all day (or anyone else :P ), I wonder if there is any interest in starting up a group chat using some chat tool? I heard or read once that one existed at one point.

One fun IM app that the DW and I use while I'm at work is called Cryptocat. 100% free and untrackable - everything is encrypted before leaving your computer. It is a browser extension that can be installed on Firefox, Chrome and a few others. It can also be installed on Android and Iphones.

To use you simply enter a group name and what name you want to go by while in the chat room.

If anyone is interested what group name should we establish? I'll throw out the obvious choice - ERE

Or is there something else that we'd rather use? I like cryptocat due to the extreme privacy. :D

Meh...I'm out. I guess if I need an instant reponse to a question it would be useful assuming people are online all the time, but I can just go to the MMM forum for that :-)

I'd be up for something like this when I'm (a) on my computer instead of my phone and (b) not trying to write. That's like 5% of the time, though. :D

That will be actual interesting discussion if enough people attend than people showing up on IRC at random times.
