Is it actually peer to peer? Based on your website's working, it looks like you send messages between two people, but use your servers to do so, which isn't exactly P2P in the traditional sense (ie. BitTorrent, etc).

You're correct - it's not network peer to peer. We route all messages through a server, which allows us do things like async messages (storing messages sent while users are away). To the user, it just looks like p2p though - exchanging messages with one another.

  I came here because I had the same question regarding P2P. Definitely confusing. I might look into changing your branding around "peer to peer". More like "one to one".

    Gotcha - thanks for the feedback. Will clarify the copy.
