Topic: Instant Messaging

I would love to be able to send/receive/respond to text messages to another chumby user or to anyone for that matter.

Re: Instant Messaging

This comes back to the old problem of how do you stop this feature becoming a conduit for spam?
Also, the on screen keyboard is a terribly awkward thing to use.

Re: Instant Messaging

It would be cool to be able to text from one Chum to antoher Chum. You have to approve a Chum via the main site anyway for them to send you apps as it now, so that is pretty spam-proof, I would hope.
Yes, that would be neat!

I think I have this on my Infocast (BB8), I have never used it though.

Re: Instant Messaging

Instant Messaging for Friends only, so there would be no Spam.

Actual, adding friends is nice, but only sent widgets is a bit boring.

IM for added friends would be very nice, and i think this function would be used more than now.

Don't be fooled by its fun exterior.  We have some of the longest running chumby owners online.  Real time chum and group chat included.

Cheers.
