CHATTER gets installed
_1:36
After alot of server config problems I finally got CHATTER set up. If you look to your right, you’ll see a new option. Chatter is… umm… well…. a place to Chat. Just log in with any name you would like and go to town.
Dave is one of the guys that worked on this open source project and we had a great conversation alittle earlier. Listen in to our conversation:
theparagon: Is there anything you would like to tell my readers about Chatter?
Dave from pushby.com: it’s small, lightweight, portable, open source and FREE!
theparagon: why did you guys decided to develop this?
Dave from pushby.com: just to see if we could. and when flash 5 came out with the ability to do persitent connections (via xml sockets) we wanted to see how well they would work. and we wanted a better chat system for us internally ( instead of IRC or jabber or any of the lame instant messenger things)
theparagon: What other projects are you guys working on?
Dave from pushby.com: we are always working on way to many projects…hehe
theparagon: haha - sounds like alot of programmers I know.
Dave from pushby.com: there are a few folks working on new “skins” for chatter. and some people are extending and re-writing parts of the client and server to do stuff they want.
These guys are doing some funny stuff with chatter: they’ve added commands like “/health” and “/curse” :-)
theparagon: Where do you guys see CHATTER going?
Dave from pushby.com: this is really meant more for smaller groups that have some sort of community (like for people who work together in an intranet setting or on people’s blogs).
theparagon: Thank you for the Interview…
Dave from pushby.com: Thanks for interviewing me - I hope it’s useful to you and your readers

Aaron Schaap Says:
Alot more conversation happened in there than that but to keep it short I put only the main points from both of our sides. If any of you want to know more about this then just talk to me or email Dave from the pushby.com website.
He’s amazingly fast at emailing you back or CHATTERing with you about what you need.
