Personal experience here: Convore rocks. Take it from a long-time IRC junkie. Dump Skype/IM for all your project-related chats and try using them and you quickly will see why Convore works and works well.
I remember Chatterous trying a similar play but can't recall what happened to them. Maybe the GUI wasn't so slick or maybe they pivoted into something we're unaware of...
- kul 16y agoIndeed, Chatterous are now A Thinking Ape and I believe making revenue in the millions. I think they have one of the highest grossing iphone apps of all time. http://www.techvibes.com/blog/a-thinking-ape-settles-into-vancouver-and-gets-serious-2011-01-12 http://www.techvibes.com/blog/a-thinking-ape-settles-into-va...

- thorax 16y agoChatterous's Google Talk integration was so stellar (it's broken most the time now) that our teams used it exclusively for cross-team chat for the past few years. I was one of their biggest fans but now I know they're not giving it much attention anymore. Given that, I really want to see convore integration with jabber/gtalk somehow, but I'm not sure how it would work for rooms+topics versus just rooms.
