I'v heard that there acctualy was an old messaging program that did this, so I geuss it's baked. |
|
| |
Yeah, I've seen it running but think it was on the command line rather than as a dedicated IM client. It's a dim memory. |
|
| |
I do like the implementation [neilp] describes here and might be inclined to use an IM app more if it showed me the typing as it is occuring. |
|
| |
call this retromessaging, this is how the old programs worked. As I remeber that was how Icq worked although I think you could turn it off and hide your typos |
|
| |
Yes, but sometimes I'd get so annoyed with someone, I'd type, "I HATE YOU" or something of the sort and then not send it, instead saying, "How nice." |
|
| |
After all, insincerity is better than being uncivil. |

/instant instant messaging/
But I want it now! |
|
| |
yep, icq used to have this feature.. still might, i'm not sure. so it's baked. (it was fun to use, though.) |
|
| |
I knew I'd seen this before, this used to be ntalk on telnet. I do quite like the concept of mixing this in with 'normal' IM though, so you can finish the sentence and talk in a more transactional fashion when that's more appropriate (e.g. multi-user talking). |
|
| |
Are there any popular bits of IM software that have this feature ? |
|
| |
Trillian's " 'So & so' is typing a message" feature reminds me how much time I spend staring at a panel with nothing incoming. |
|
| |
would this make for more honesty in chat rooms? |
|
| |
IMVU may do this. "There" (www.there.com) does this. |
|

Well baked back in the days of Telnet chat |
