Instant Messanger For Coders?

written by tobinharris on June 26th, 2008 @ 02:58 AM

I had a look around for an instant messaging client for coders, but couldn't find one.

Features I want for starters are:

  • Cross platform
  • Allowing pasting of large amounts of code (<=100 lines, at least)
  • Code highlighting for c#, VB.NET, Ruby, Javascript, HTML etc etc
  • Pasting of screen shots
  • Public channels (like IRC) on particular topics, where people can collaborate
  • All public discussions centrally stored and searchable

Anyone know of such a thing?

    I completely forgot about Campfire. I follow the 37Signals blog and use BaseCamp regularly. Might just have to give CF a closer look.
