Chat Trumps Meetings
- batmelon 14y agoWhat trumps Chat? Visual Chat! :) We are trying to accomplish that with Mural.ly
- snogglethorpe 14y agoHuh? Who on earth wants to see the ugly mugs of their coworkers when talking about work...?! No visuals = big advantage of chat (in this usage).
- mdwrigh2 14y agoHe isn't talking about video chat but visual chat. Check out the link to his startup that he mentioned to get a better idea.
- snogglethorpe 14y agoHmm, the concept seems reasonable, but that website is very broken: 1. first, crappy browser detection [I'm running firefox, but it thinks I'm not], displays big "you can't really use this site" page 2. I override user agent, site properly displays home page with video and big red "sign up" button 3. click on big red button to sign up for free beta thing 4. click on google signup, then "ok" to google popup 5. error message from beta.mural.ly/signup: "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred." 6. try to use back arrows, then just entering "beta.mural.ly" URL directly to start over (maybe I'll try non-google sign up...) 7. both actions simply redirect me to beta.mural.ly/signup again, which immediately displays the server error again 8. goto 5.
- outdooricon 14y agoI'd love to know what chat server they use at GitHub.
- conroy 14y agoGithub uses Campfire. http://zachholman.com/2011/01/automating-inefficiencies/ http://zachholman.com/2011/01/automating-inefficiencies/
- outdooricon 14y agoOh, good to know, thanks!
