Chatflow? Break it down for me...

Sure, chatflow is a super sleek chat client that looks great, feels great and taps into facebook, the most popular social networking site in the world. Chat to all your contacts from one source, using only your facebook login.

Forget about all the other chat clients, forget about the restrictions of chatting from within your browser. Tell your family, tell your friends, tell the guy in the elevator, the best thing since tickle me Elmo has arrived!
Sweet, show me the download!

Hmm, keep going...

Ok, so here's the deal.

Facts

  1. Facebook's plan for world domination has pretty much become a reality. Every man and his dog now has an account
  2. Instant messaging has been a core part of internet culture since... well forever.
  3. Facebook has introduced "facebook chat" however there's just one problem, it sucks.
  4. There are more chat clients out there today than sheep in New Zealand

Deductions

  1. Most, if not all the friend and family you frequently chat to are on facebook
  2. Your current contacts are spread across various chat clients and you're tired of keeping tabs on all of them
  3. You love the idea of facebook chat but it's a far cry from what you have come to expect from the online chat experience... You have to keep the website open, you can't get alerts in your task bar, you can't multi task but above all, it just doesn't feel right!

Solution

Yep, you guess it. Chatflow :)
Ahhh, I get it now. Show me the download.

Thanks, but I use *insert lame chat client here* and it already supports facebook chat

Sorry, probably shouldn't have called your current chat client lame but we're super passionate about great software. We've been doing this for years and quite franky, are not impressed with the solutions out there.

By no means do we think we're gods gift to software or anything, we just feel that there is something lacking and are confident that we can do better!

In short, we aim to provide the best facebook chat experience there is. Nothing less.
Ok, show us what you got then.

Great, but who is 'we'?

We are two young developers based out of Christchurch New Zealand. Both hugely passionate about great software and have been in the industry for a number of years now. We understand that our vision is ambitious and that we have some pretty big competitors but are quietly confident that we can provide something that no one else has.
