I was thorough and informative about something I thought IBIS site members would find useful, so I suggested it. Is that why? Does that even make sense? Nope.

Two reason, It sounds to good to be true, and you. No one knows you, it appears you dont participate on the forums often nor do you play on the servers going by those stats.

Are you able to connect the dots yet?

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.

</honesty>

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.

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...?

That made me lol after I looked him up and saw his posts. I can see that but I assure you, I'm me. about.me/techncode

The only use I would have for this particular chat service is if it lets me get steam chat on my android phone, which this program does not allow me to do.

Despite your claim to the contrary, this does not allow steam chat to be used on android-powered mobile devices.

I tried it. Didn't work.


and as Zero said, this is an issue that Valve has been inquired of, and remains silent.

nothing personal, it just doesn't work as you said it does (with regards to steam chat, specifically on android).
