Hookt | messaging made simple

It works very well been using it today a lot.

"messaging made simple"? Who made it difficult?

If everyone had GVoice, we wouldn't have to worry about this. And they'd all be compatible with SMS too.

Well according to things on facebook i think its going to be like a bbm and everyone is going to have it so it will be pretty cool if we are apart of that for a change because usually we are left out sadly. But you do make a good point.

what difference does it have with kik messenger? That's what me and my friends use, of course its not available in webOS.

[eblade]

It doesn't look like they (currently?) have webOS support.

I'm definitely quite curious as to why their login page appears to want to use my Facebook credentials though.

Also,

Hookt is available for your use if you are at least 18 years old, able to enter into this Agreement, not a convicted sex offender, not a person barred from receiving services under US or Canadian law, not residing in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and you are not included on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

So, hopefully no one here is Iranian, or has ever been caught taking a leak in public (i don't know about where you live, but where I live, people get sex offender status for that)

And, I'd offer to hack something together quick for it, since they do have a nice looking mobile interface that we could probably pretty easily piggy back onto, but...

There is no webOS support but if you go into the browser and type it in everything works perfectly just you dont have the app. I have emailed the support team to see if we can get a webOS app because it will be better then the browser but for now it works so im happy.

[MannymanWP]

At least their web page shows a palm pre for their web interface,

[74sickness]

[tovivekmishra]

[74sickness]

Awesome find!!! Thanks heaps for sharing this with us ...

I reckon if a homebrew dev did a quick mock-up / alpha version of a webOS Hookt client piggy-backing off the web interface (with a quick and dirty synergy integration) and sent it to Hookt, they might be interested in developing / at least allowing a homebrew dev to work with them / develop a client for them...

Any takers? I would, but I have very very little programming ability
