Response to: Rendezvous
Actually Hydra and iChat weren't that heavily used at OSCon. Lots of people wanted to try them out in a conference setting, but I wouldn't call the use of either "explosive" or even "widespread". Sure, there was a huge Mac OS X presence, but many people didn't want to run iChat (even after being prodded), and a lot of people were frustrated with the networking situation. Plus, iChat was acting funny. On many occasions, I could see about 7 people logged in via Rendezvous, but the person sitting next to me could see dozens. I couldn't send messages to him, but he could send messages to me that I could respond to.
