With the drop.io Real Time set of features, we’ve created a fully-live collaboration environment. This means zero page refreshes. Zero…seriously.
Our new /Chat dedicated view: just as each drop has a ‘/Blog’ view (where media added to the drop is displayed according to when it is uploaded), a ‘/Media’ view, etc. we also now provide a rich media ‘/Chat’ view. In this chat view all chat messages and media are displayed ‘inline’ for easy discussion
A ‘chat layer’ on every view: on the bottom of every page there is also now a ‘chat layer’, which displays how many others are currently looking at the same drop. Click on it and you can chat with them about the files you are uploading, a document you need from them, whatever you want.
