Welcome to Lingr!

It's high time to let it blaze out into the world. Here comes the newborn- Lingr.

Lingr is the place for chat on the web. That's it, seriously- nothing could be simpler.

Here is the list of highlights:

• Ease-of-use. Everybody uses a web browser. And that's the only thing you need. We support Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 6 or higher.
• Hot tags. You can crawl over the tag cloud to see what currently are the hot topics of conversation.
• Guest access. We welcome anybody. You don't have to sign up until you want to have your own assets on the site- your images, your own rooms, or your list of favorite rooms.
• Private rooms. As a registered user, you can create private rooms to have a chat with your friends and family.  Private rooms are not listed in the public, and don't show up in search results.  You can also protect any room with a password that you choose.
• Image/movie pasting. It's really easy to show your images and movies in the chat room. Currently we support links to JPEG, GIF and PNG files for images, or YouTube for movies. Check out how.
• Archives. Your chat logs are safe. Everyting that is said in a chatroom is saved without any limitation, and you can revisit the archive at any later time.
• Permalink. Chat rooms, archives, and the most of other views you see in Lingr have consistent URL and are bookmark-able.
• and it's free!

But it's just begun, and we're already moving onto the next release. We're looking forward to seeing how it's going to turn out, so don't forget to give us your feedback!

Lingr- it's a real-time social experience, right inside your web browser.

Welcome to the party. Enjoy!
