How AltME is Used
Here's how one organization uses AltME -- to collaborate, coordinate,
and communicate on a large software project.
This AltME world includes more than 50 collaborators from timezones
around the world, but AltME's unique persistent private chat (private instant
messaging) makes it easy. Every user can read their messages at whatever
time is most convenient for them. AltME timestamps every chat message
and displays it in local time.
User and Group Chat List
In this world, there are dozens of separate discussions going on and
thousands of messages. Many chats discussions are public, others chats
are private.
This panel helps keep them all organized. It shows dividers (the black
boxes) being used to groups related discussions together. This is
managed by the master users for this world.
When a new message is received, it's group name and divider text turn
red to tell you there is something new. Just click on it to see the new
messages.
At the bottom, notice you can set your status. This makes it easy to
tell others if you have stepped away from your computer.
Other Instant Applications
AltME does a lot more than just private chat. Here you can see several
other applications being used, including the checklist, calendar, and a
special custom bug-tracker application.
There is no limit to the number of instant applications. Contact us if you want us to build you a
special custom application.
Summary
This is a good example of a private AltME world. All chat is private.
Messages and other communications are encrypted when sent over the
Internet. In addition, the world is run entirely from their own computer
system. It does not use AOL, Yahoo, MSN or other public servers.
