Access and use Steam Chat (and other IM services) from almost anywhere!

[emTr0]

plus, the site you linked itself just screams "trust me"

after all, it's just a bunch of icons that bring up places to put in your login info for everything.

It's amazing what we can find with Google! Take a look at how powerful a search engine it is:

• Google search for "imo.im"
• CrunchBase for imo.im
• TechCrunch article for imo.im
• MakeUseOf article for imo.im

And there's more where that came from.

Oh, I'm so sorry. You might not know what Google is. Here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google or maybe this one will help enlighten you en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine. Completely blew my mind too.

Your ignorance is astounding.

wow you're an idiot. how can you not understand why we'd be suspicious?

I never said I didn't understand, don't blame others for your assumptions. All you had to do was a simple Google search or just ask for details on my experience with it but no, you figured you'd just point out the obvious about the site's landing page instead of clicking around a bit. I expect more from a Drexel dude but hey, everyone's different I guess.

I hope this is enough for acolyte...

Although I was hoping he'd troll me some more so I could get my forum posts count up.

[SCRIBBLE]

I see you calling acolyte ignorant and calling him a troll. You posted this in the discussion thread and insult the people that are doubtful and express their concerns. Expect replies that have opinions as this is a crucial factor in discussions.

No wonder people aren't welcoming you as much as you expect them to.

For fucks sake, facebook is a recommended website by a ton of magazines and e-blogs and it still has security flaws.

Nothing is perfect and to be wary of a website that collects usernames and passwords is something I encourage myself.

An opinion that was presented in a wrong, ill-mannered way. I'm not being nice to those who aren't nice from the beginning and acolyte has been on me since I joined without reason. I presented my material in full in the hopes that it would be liked and used by others. Instead the troll comes around and jumps on it without googling it ONCE. Regular, admin, owner or not, respected or not, you don't do that to someone who is offering something useful in the way that I did and I have absolutely no problem defending myself against people like acolyte.

If he can't handle my retort then he shouldn't instigate. Simple. Sarcasm != discussion.

Your Facebook comment...now THAT is a valid opinion I can work with (which has actually been proven) and I completely agree. If he were to say something like that or ask, I'd say imo.im has its own encryption so there's a good amount of security but again, I'm sure it's not impenetrable. If Fb or PSN can get hacked then yeah, I'm sure imo.im can but that's a risk the user has to weigh out like with anything else.

It's incredible how quickly you have dissolved any form of respect (which was slim to none as it was) that people had for you prior to that post. You honestly create a clan app, blowing up your own ego, and then go and be a dick towards well-respected members of this community?

Let up on the ego brah, because honestly nobody here is going to give 2-shits about a no-name like you unless you start respecting people.

It's odd though, you write INCREDIBLY similar to slipstream.

If validly defending myself and content causes me to lose respect with some then there's a problem with their definition of respect. You give respect to get respect and if not, you don't initially disrespect someone because you don't know them. You haven't technically disrespected me so I don't disrespect you. Same goes for scribble and anyone other than acolyte. Acolyte on the other hand likes to non-constructively criticize and make it obvious that he's being sarcastic, which is already obvious. If he had a concern he could have just asked because I'm more than willing to explain as much as I can.

And the clan app thing was me having fun. It was misinterpreted, I get that. That was my fault since no one personally knows me or my personality so I can see that it would sound like I'm "blowing up my ego". Being a well-respected member of a community doesn't make it ok to be a dick to others, especially new people who they don't know well enough and who are willing and trying to be participants of that community.

I'll respect people that haven't given me a reason to do otherwise.

When would valve have allowed this? I have not seen an official topic about this only requests for exactly this which have gone unanswered by valve for years.

They haven't directly mentioned imo.im but that's normal for a non-official service that offers an integrated experience like IMO does. For example, RIM doesn't mention every BlackBerry app that gets put on their App World store same as Android doesn't mention the apps that offer a similar experience with access to Steam content.

I guess it's up to you whether you'd be willing to entrust your accounts with IMO's encryption. There's always going to be a risk as scribble pointed out with Facebook and I pointed out with the PSN getting hacked. I guess it comes down to the pros/cons of using such a service but I love it.

Since I've contacted IMO as press I can ask how they tap into Steam's network if you'd like...?
