#2I got introduced to talker app a while back while working with the guys from Teambox. I'm based in the UK while they're all over (Spain, US, UK). I didn't really see the point at first and figured Skype/IRC would be better but the more I used it the more I never stopped going on about how cool it was. I'm a little surprised but super excited that it's now free!

#3Same here. I had tried out campfire but wasn't overwhelmed with it. I love the extensibility of Talker. Almost every other day I'm writing a plugin (https://github.com/saimonmoore/talker-plugins) in javascript to enhance my chatting with my team members.

#4We used Campfire at Masterbranch until we discovered Talker.
We're keeping our old account ($6 a month) just because of the private rooms.

#5Nice but why the restriction on keeping logs? Surely it can't be a disk space concern, text is nothing. If my team is going to use a chat app I want to be able to reference the logs at a later date.

Because they need to make money somewhere, I assume. Totally fair.

Well we thought IRC doesn't offer logs by default and it's fine, we offer them for a week. You can get unlimited logs with the $15/mo plan, so if you want to use it for business, you can.

#8We've been using Talker with our team in Minsk. It's been fantastic, some things, like JavaScript plugins are ingenious.
Cobbled together a plugin to auto-link FOO-1234 to our JIRA installation. Plus, multi-line pasting creates an EtherPad session.
plugin.onMessageInsertion = function(talkerEvent){
$('td.message').replace(/(FOO-\d*)/gi, ''+'$1'.toUpperCase()+'');
$('span.msg').replace(/(FOO-\d*)/gi, ''+'$1'.toUpperCase()+'');
}
