We need to find a solution which is user friendly<br>
&<br>
which will not use too much resources on mobile<br>
phone/laptop/desktop/IoT devices etc.<br>
<br>
Many organisations,banks,payment companies use whatsapp/wechat/telegram.<br>
Is there any reason why we don't want to opt for these services?<br>
Keeping in mind that we are not going to discuss anything very<br>
confidential, above options may serve the purpose.<br>
<br>
There will be decline in adopting odd solutions like Riot/ZNC until<br>
they are fully mature enough.<br>
We wont be seeing any new users at Riot/ZNC sadly.<br>
Again, these are my thoughts.<br>
More Pluggies are encouraged to comment/participate in the discussion.<br>
<br>
I did a quick survey recently and figured out 99% IT newbies are not<br>
aware about IRC nor they use it :-)<br>
Same for IT techies working at fancy MNC's at Hinjewadi/EON IT Park.<br>
They use <a href="http://meetup.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">meetup.com</a> aggressively.<br>
<br>
