Satguys blackberry group expanding to yahoo messenger

[JAG72]

We are trying out a few different messenger platforms to see what works best.

Anyone have any suggestions?

We have tried yahoo, works decent, but had trouble with people getting booted and not being able to reinvite.

Google talk, as far as we can tell, has no group chat option.

Windows live messenger seems to work the best so far. A few of us are testing it out today.

Any other options available that work well?

Google Talk does have a group chat option.

How do I get in, I have WM on my phone.

did you sign up for an account? if not you'll need to do that 1st and get an email address for live.net or whatever you choose at setup. then you can pm us your address or post it here. you will also have ours

 

[Rey]

I guess I am still out of your little group as I can't find a good app for Windows Messenger.

because there isn't one for the iphone?

The HTC Hero has a IM that'll handle Yahoo, but I much prefer the Google stuff

April - you just got an Android phone. What app are you using to participate in this chat system?

We are using Hi MSN, it is not that good though. I am looking for an alternative, since you cant reply to the group as a while with this app.

Lol, ok, do it and add me. Apparently, you have to start a single convo then invite others. I could have sworn me and rey tried that, but he DELETED IT SO DARN QUICK, now I am not sure! lol

It says on the net though that it is doable.
