Blooie, Airtime and online chat - what's the future?

10 pointsby twitchhikerover 12 years ago
Two stories published in the last 24 hours, two startups tackling online chat in very different ways:<p>Airtime - http://allthingsd.com/20121002/like-eating-glass-sean-parker-on-airtimes-bumpy-launch-exec-departures-and-more/<p>Blooie - http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/03/blooie-launches-its-chat-platform-for-online-publishers-powered-by-the-interest-graph/<p>Not a fan of video chat, too evasive but matching people around web content is interesting.<p>Thoughts?

Airtime building on top of Facebook with no platform of their own is massively dangerous. Don't understand the scale of investment when there's no control. Will take a look at Blooie, bit of an underdog in comparison, but prefer text to video.

"I’m told that the chat logs themselves are never stored, it does give pause for thought" Some interesting scaling challenges there I imagine
