I gave it a week and I've decided not to continue using this service. I'll probably come back I just don't think it's ready for prime time yet. Most of the reason I'm quitting is due to the overhead it takes out of my machine. I mean an average 30% processor usage is a little thick. In addition the software is only supported under windoze. I have an Apple and a Linux box. Neither will run the software natively. I also don't like that by default you show up "online" and any crazy teen can come on in and want to chat. That model lend's itself more to chatrooms than to individual chats.
So folks, in my humble opinion, I think the service needs to grow up a little before it's really cool. Until then I say goodbye.
