Comment on New command for IM/Email: @get by allisonweiss

I see commands for Twitter and I see commands for SMS. I see all the commands I get from @help. Are there any other commands for moderating? If so where are they listed in the FAQ?

Thanks for Chatterous!

I think that Twitter chatrooms is a great idea.

I’m not sure I understand the utility of this scenario. I get that Chatterous is try to enable ubiquitous communication via multiple devices and platforms. But, you already have SMS and IM integration – who would want to use Twitter as the vehicle to send messages?

Since all your Chatterous traffic is “direct” – there is no benefit of having this go through Twitter as the underlying transport layer – none of your user’s Twitter followers will see the messages or know that a conversation is going on. And that’s what seems the primary benefit of Twitter – enabling the impromptu/casual discussions that don’t happen otherwise.

I would think Friend Feed integration would be more useful (do you have that already?) – that way my friends can see that I’m involved in a discussion by following my FF feed.

Comment on New aggregation scheme for email by chatterous

The emails will not stop completely, they will just arrive in your inbox less often as larger digests. Is that still not an ideal scheme for you?

Not sure if I like the scheme from a moderators point of view. If I am moderating a discussion in one of my groups by e-mail and not participating, the e-mails will stop. Should be a way to turn off this feature so there is a steady stream of information coming.

If the e-mails ever bother me, I simply @stop or @snooze them.

Is it ever safe to be sending mail to an account that hasn’t explicitly verified by clicking an email registration link?

The potential for abuse of Chatterous to send spam is really high if you send user-generated content to a non-registered user. I would think it most prudent to only send UGC to registered opt-in user.

If you start getting lots of spam reports, your ability to deliver mail at all will be damaged by getting a high spam score.

Why not open up the Question chat for everyone? Or have one where we can instantly seek answers to the questions which may not be covered at the FAQ. I find your chat concept very interesting (offline plus online at the same time) but I feel it requires various improvements to make it easy and convenient for lay users of the net.

Comment on Slight downtime at Chatterous today by Mark Carls

I was just shown this site today by BudtheTeacher (Bud Hunt), very interesting way to have a breakout with other educators (for me) possibly from Twitter. I like that everything is archived, so when you sign in you can see EVERYTHING that group has been talking about.
Thank you,
