With great cross-browser compatibility and rich functionality like file uploads and in-line previews you can't go wrong. Uses certain well established IM transport protocol that plays nice with your text-mode IM client ;-)
Yes, you can embed it on your website. Either ad-supported or paid-for.
- moe 15y agoIt seems you missed the part where he said "teach people how to use IRC (yeah right)". The frontpage of mibbit is an instant "close-tab" to a non-nerd user.
- slowpoke 15y agoYou can just link directly to a server/chatroom on mibbit. No need for your users to ever see their frontpage.
- moe 15y agoTheir chat-interface isn't better either. Honestly, would you send a mibbit link in a professional context to an non-nerd contact? Well, that was a rhetoric question... The colors are terrible, the whole thing looks like a relic from the 90s and there's way too much tech exposed.
- dexen 15y agoIt's IM that uses the right transport protocol. GUI matters to users, and that's plain IM GUI. Fixed my earlier post.
- darklajid 15y agofinch (a text mode client) should support xmpp (both as a well established IM protocol as well as a underrepresented multi user chat protocol) just fine. ;-)
