I need it to be dead simple for people to join the chat, using existing chat clients. i.e. whatever they have installed, I can't ask them to install something new.
What I mean is this: A lot of people I want to invite into chat, it's an experiment for them and they aren't really committed.
Oh, I have to install IRC software? Sorry, too much work.
Oh, I can't access it from AIM/gchat/etc? Sorry, too much work.
These are the people I want to onboard, so they can see the value in participating in my chat room.
What is the tool that allows me to attract anyone to the chat room, without them installing new software?
- jakerocheleau 14y agoWould the best solution be a web-based client? I have XChat on all my Windows machines and use Colloquy on my Macbook so I never worry about IRC support. But it's obvious that not everybody uses IRC on a daily basis. I would wonder if it's possible to support people using their own desktop client, while others alternatively use a webpage on the site which connects into the same IRC channel.
