Hey! Thanks for trying out the extensions...

"go private" does two things:

it launches a 1-hour conversation that allows anyone you @mention in the tweet and from that point on you are in SecretSocial-land having real-time conversations...

there is still a 140 char limit but you can post as many times as you like, it is all kept in context!

Hiya - Aquarin... ICQ, Skype et al, log everything. We don't. The privacy policy is simple: end conversation, end all data about it as well.

Additionally, I encourage you to try the service in "Sudden Death" mode with someone you know - whoever is in one of those conversations can terminate it at any time resulting in everyone losing the conversation simultaneously.

This is very different from a user simply exiting IRC or leaving an ICQ chat or having a pseudo-offline conversation on GTalk!

yeah the uprotect.it guys are very facebook-centric and they let the user decide on privacy...

SecretSocial is a standalone service letting you engage users on SMS, Email or Twitter. So people you know and people you don't can be engaged...

plus we are conversation-centric... the topic and need to communicate dictates the initiation.... very different from group-driven messaging.

Try out the Chrome extension as well to experience it fully!

If convore is making collaboration cooler.. then I think what Asana has is superior as it currently stands.

I see convore as a great alternative to the Twitter hashtag. A richer, more real-time, better indexed alternative. It can still use Twitter for Outreach but the action is in convore.

Think Tanks are paid to consider all possible and plausible eventualities, forecast outcomes and correlate dependencies for their given client or scenario.
