I have never used this App but if I did I would also be uninstalling it right now. Chat/messaging apps are not primarily about features, they are about connections. They are social. I don't care if your chat app is awesome if none of my friends are on it.
I have been a long term supporter of Trillian for just that reason, cross platform support. It's quirky at times but it gives me as many protocols as possible in one place, and a combined list of all my friends through one interface. It also syncs across all my devices (multiple PC's and Android tablets/phones) As long as they keep that up they maximize the social connections... and my loyalty.
- cvos 13y agoThey likely want to become a standalone messaging app in the hopes of an acquisition as messaging apps seem to be mimicking the Search Engine wars of 1999. Does anyone have recommendations for a good multi chat app replacement besides trillian?
- gwern 13y agoThe timing certainly is striking.
- 51Cards 13y agoAgreed, a very good point there.

- Perdition 13y agoWhich is funny because there was a messaging client war in the late '90's as well. I'm waiting for someone to reinvent IRC for smart phones.

- donniezazen 13y agoIM has simply become a mess with isolated protocols.
- ranndino 13y agoCouldn't have said it better myself. As soon as imo drops support for other messengers my connections are gonna go from over a 100 to 4. And I'm powerless to fix this.
