Call me old-fashioned, but I like to make informed decisions before signing up for something – so where are the specs?

    - What sort of encryption is used where?
    - How is this encryption ‘enforced’?
    - How are messages stored/logged and accessible to whom?
    - How highly available are these services?
    - How are users authenticated?
    - What limitations exist for use on tablets?
    - …
Just calling something ‘real geeky’ and throwing out some buzzwords is…well, insufficient to convince me.

Edit: added ‘to convince me’

It's usually sufficient to be honest.

37signals' Campfire doesn't have information about some of the questions you answered on their website, but their app as you is wildly popular.

- AES 256 SSL - www.tesla.im works ONLY in an always on HTTPS mode. - Messages are visible ONLY to chat room members. - The servers are in an auto-scaling mode. - A combination of a valid email + bcrypt passwords. - A few UI glitches when using on low resolution/small screen tablets.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

I like how you don't make me register to check it out.

That's a really great thing to do.

But you almost make it tricky to figure out how to register (by making me go to settings then click edit next to my name).

Please, please, please check your email validation... Disallowing + notation doesn't make sense, and I for one won't sign up for a service that doesn't allow it. http://i.imgur.com/xfVDKyL.png

  The local part may consist of alphabetic and numeric   characters, and the following characters: !, #, $, %, &, ',   *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } and ~, possibly with dot   separators (.), inside, but not at the start, end or next to   another dot separator (RFC2822 3.2.4).

Hi, You need not go to settings. Click on blue '+' symbol wherever you see it :)
