#22I think its a useful application. Hope you can add a way for users to invite others to their pack manually by entering email address (instead of directly importing contacts).
Thanks! Actually that's on the to-do list. I will make users be able to add others via their username on wolfpacktales rather than having to go to the sites to import. At the moment, it works nicely because of the early virality that brought on board.

#23Hmm when I look at I don't see any difference between this an frid.ge, etc and there seems to be no way to look closer at it without signing up to yet another service. So how does this differ from the rest of the group chat systems?
I had come up with this because I had some friends who were on Facebook but nothing else, there were some without Facebook or Twitter and only used Gmail. My idea was a way of setting up a 'group chat platform' where users can come in from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Gmail and still be able to interact with each other in one place.
How do you solve the problem of users signing up/logging in with say their Twitter, but later also signing in with Facebook after logging out?
Wouldn't there be a user account collision of some sort? Sorry if it's obvious, I haven't had a chance to check your site out.
Good luck and wishes of great success to you.

#24Thanks for the encouragement. Going through the smaller blogs is definitely a start to get your name out there. At the end of the day its really just relationships in SV that get you on the front page of big blogs.
We also have a group messaging app that just launched our BETA on Android and iPhone last weeks and is now closing on close to 5000 users after a few days. Check it out if you have the chance.

#25Why does it ask for permission to post tweets when I try to authorize through Twitter? Can you consider switching to read-only access? I hate that every application, which uses twitter only for authorization, seems to want to post a lot of stuff in my twitter account, which I certainly do not want. :(
hey mate, that page only asks you if you want to post to your twitter or not. If the user doesn't want to, he can hit proceed and move on to the next page. I haven't made it compulsory to do that. To be honest...that page is one of the reasons for the significant increase in signups.
I mean when you authorize someone through twitter, you can ask for read permissions or for read and write permissions. Right now you're asking for read and write, which always makes me suspicious - "will this application post something on my behalf?" :(
