I agree, I use it with iChat, the service is fine. It's the browser-based client that's weak.

Nice feature.. but when i clicked at the link and then clicked on 'Other' (bottom center), it says 'Use SSL/TLS: no'. I wonder if the chat messages are sent unencrypted ?

Personally I trust the endpoint less than the route in this case.

Thank you! I had no idea this existed.
