Need new name for an Instant Messenger

[psychotomus]

My original name was Sim-Chat but I just found out yesterday that its allready a registered trademark and I am not trying to get sued so I need a new messenger name. anyone got any ideas?

[Lord Orwell]

how about S-IM?
It will let people know it was the same program
or My-Chat
or ChatBox
or PersonalIM
or NetChat (probably taken)
or SimpleChat
or Contact InstaChatter
you get the idea...

[psychotomus]

like the names but all are taken allready. =(

[Lord Orwell]

ChatZilla, Chat4U, YourIM, Chat 360, XChat, IM+, YourIM, Insta-Chat, FreeIChat, ChatAHolic 1.0, sIMple, etc... As you can see coming up with names is the easy part. Finding one that isn't taken is not quite as easy...

[DigiRev]

Where are you checking to see if they are taken?

I've also been working on an instant messenger...for awhile now.

[psychotomus]

Also you better apply some XP Visual Style to your interface. Now messagers are comming with slim interfaces.

Ah, ok.

I've been working on mine for so long now and it's not even half way done yet. Voice chat is kicking my ass, but that's about the only thing holding me back. That, and setting up a good server network to host it on, cause it's going to need more than one computer. Oh, and somehow tying everything into the website database to make it all work together.

Now I know why companies hire a development team.

[psychotomus]

What all data do you need for the website database? Just whether or not user is online and make them register threw a website? Since its related to php i can help.

Thanks, luckily I know PHP well enough (I think) to do the database stuff and website.

But there will be user profiles, blogs, all that crap that people like. Hopefully they will still like it by 2015 because that's probably the time I'll finally finish.

If you want help with your messenger let me know. Winsock and client/server programs is what I spend all of my time doing and I enjoy helping with that type of stuff.
