Obviously the big ones - ustream, jtv... Here's a few more. http://www.quantcast.com/p-1as4Vqt4eFyrI/traffic/syndicators http://www.quantcast.com/p-1as4Vqt4eF

  I'm not trying to cast aspersions on your front-end work, but why-oh-why would you use IRC as your backend? Icb is "proven" too.

    If you were building a website, would you use HTML, which completely sucks and is an abomination, or would you create a fantastic new system with its own browser?
    • tptacek 18y ago
      I would use HTML, but I really don't think HTML is an abomination. Whereas IRC clearly is, and it's not hard to replace, unlike HTML. You could probably change Mibbit to use the MibbitChat protocol and most of your users would never care.

        Why do you assume that's not my longer term plan? I already layer things ontop of IRC such as typing notify, recent chat on channel join etc... IRC is a simple, solid chat protocol. It's about as ugly and broken as HTML IMHO. You don't get users by forcing them to use some swanky new protocol/system off the bat. That's a recipe for quick failure.

  Compared to MSN / Sametime / Facebook Chat / Yahoo Chat / AOL Chat / etc - I don't think ustream or jtv are very big.
