A Chat/IM client within chrome browser

I like this idea, but could someone explain how to set this up without a server for two people over a WAN connection? Is this possible even with NATs?

Its a nice project and great effort no doubt. But I am not convinced bundling an IM client into a browser is necessary or even a good idea.

Thanks.

I agree it may not be a brilliant idea. But it was more as an experimental thing and has helped my programming skills :-)

FWIW, ebuddy and meebo amongst others, have been around for years.

Sure meebo and ebuddy are there. But I do not like a Man in the middle. I mean, we have no guarantee that meebo will not record our conversations or passwords. Yes, I am being just paranoid. Also, we do not know how long these services may exist. May be a web interface for telepathy which can be hosted on apache will be good.

BTW, I did this as an experiment :-) Thanks for your comments.

Sorry if my comment came across as dismissive. Always cool to see new things being tried.
