Messaging in Flash
The initial rollout of our instant messaging network included a JavaScript client, JWChat, which allowed access to 2CatNow via a web interface.
Since then we came across XIFFIAN which is a Flash based Jabber client, after a few tests it proved to be more acceptable to users, it also works over a wider range of browsers as it is Flash based and not reliant on JavaScript functionality.
To top this off we can also allow the user to select, from a simple drop down menu, a conference room to automatically join on logging in.
The main 2ChatNow page has been updated to offer only the Flash client, with the JavaScript client being made available at 2ChatNow.com.
