At work, we have three chats that have been in existence for over a year. Two are work related, one is sports related. Skype does a better job of persistent chats than any other IM program I'm immediately aware of. Why do you say otherwise?
Skype does a better job of persistent chats than any other IM program I'm immediately aware of. Why do you say otherwise? Really? The RAFO chats begin to lag significantly after a few months. We've had to abandon one already; it was beginning to take days to load new messages. The second "main chat" is beginning to take a long time, too.
I'm not seriously advocating IRC as a replacement, since a grand total of about four people would be able/willing to go through all of the steps necessary for that. Still, it is much better.
