Control
  • Large scale
    • We want to scale our conversations up to any number of specific persons or to the public generally.
  • Public entry points to chat rooms
    • We want to easily invite others to join our conversations.
  • Throttling and Muting
    • We want to control the ability of others to communicate with us based on our private sense of context and relationship.

  • Attachments
    • We want to be able to 'attach' files and documents of any description as remote links.
