Looking for right decision!

[Pitersen1991]

Hello,

I am looking for a chat application to implement it to my website. I don't have idea which to use or which is best. I came across Envolve and Chatwing but still looking for more options before I decide which to take.

Have in mind I want to be able to post youtube videos and charts into it and I also want to have option for design makeover plus Iphone and Android app access with alerts.

Thanks!!

Well I started researching on my own then. I made a lot of research in finding a chatroom for my website. Apparently envolve closed down when google bought them, pitty. I tried IRC but I truly did not like the look and feel and the “mess” of text in there. I had several points which are important to me.

1. First I needed a chat that can be seen in mobile (all versions) so I narrowed down the search for html5 chat room that look good on both mobile and pc.

2. I needed a custom design, I needed my background to be black or transparent. This was very hard to find (my site is dark).

3. I do not like to install the chat in my server as this is high CPU and resource consumer. So I need a chat service.

4. Lastly, I needed the ability to add You Tube videos and upload files (technical analysis).

I have checked several chats and only 1 met my needs, Chatwing.

I choose Chatwing finally as it can be integrated into my page and not only as toolbar but it has the Android and IOS app which no other service has.

hey guys i will give a quick update about my experience using Chatwing so far.

1. most important, my users are very satisifed with it.

2. it has been working really smooth and feels great to have a cloud chat and not rely on servers and hosting anymore.

3. the Chatwing android and iOS app have been a greta way for myself and moderators to keep control of the chat and get alerts when their is new activity.

4. my users also use the chatwing apps so they can stay connected to my website chats

5. the chat has helped increase the number of visitors and also the amount of time they spend on my website.

6. as far as pricing chatwing is by far the best value on the web, i pay $11.20 per month for unlimited usage in my chat, on other chat services they limit usage for say 250 users will cost you $50 per month. Chatwing also has a free version that let's you have unlimited usage too which is really nice just lacks a couple features i wanted like uploading my logo and hiding the chatwing name.

conclusion, give Chatwing a try if your looking for a chat room to put on your website it's perfect.
