What it does

!! Nudges
Shake your friend's chat window when they stop answering. It worked in 2004 and it still works.
;-) Winks
Animated greetings that play right in the chat window.
brb Away messages
Set one before you leave and let people wonder where you went.
:-X End-to-end encrypted
Messages are encrypted on your machine. We can't read them, and neither can anyone else.
:-P Custom emoticons
Upload your own. Every group chat ends up with its own inside jokes anyway.
:-) The buddy list
No feed, no stories, no algorithm. Your friends, and whether they're online.

Set your status

Appear Away so someone messages you first. Sit on Busy all evening. Sign in invisible and just watch the list. You know how this works.

You are now Online.
