Most of my contacts in Groove are no longer with it.

Why I like Hall.com?

Easy to use

No download, install and many-steps signup. I created the first virtual space, they call Hall, even without registration.

It enables virtual realtime communication with chat and different applications like, 4 now.

These applications are realtime enable. For example, every change made in the notepad app will be synchronized to all members viewing this application in realtime, character by character.

More applications I would like to see:

  • draw/digram, collaborative sketch draw. Sometimes it’s easier to explain ideas with a simple diagram.
  • discussion,  foldable posts in Treeview which is a most used tool in team work. It would be better if I will able to enclose picture and files.
What could be better than Groove?
  • It’s lightweight, crossplatform. It won’t slow down computer and stuck your work
  • It’s open and social.  I met a vc, Tim Connors, and Sanjay Kotagiri, . ^^
  • Search. Groove aimed to bring the right people to the right place at the right time. However information in the spaced are isolated and there were no global search.
What’s missing?
  • what if I am not opening the browser or not on hall.com? I am missing realtime notifications.
  • I use more time on iphone than my computer. Will the notifications available?
  • Public Profile/private mesage and hall directory listing for both SEO and easy discovery.
update 1
I received a notification email when I am offline. nice ^^
