Hrmm.. the image upload is not as cool as I'd hope. Yes it includes it, but you still need to upload and host it somewhere yourself.
This could be really killer if it allowed uploads of arbitrary attachments and images. Could see it as an interesting way of keeping a log with a client.
We've definitely heard this feedback from others, especially those coming from other web-based chat products that tend to include this feature.
Right now we haven't offered this as a feature because we're a free app, and hosting more than a few files and images would be cost prohibitive. We're definitely open to building it in the future if it can be subsidized somehow, or if we directly charge for it.
Is this true? I have a similar issue. So far I too consider that hosting files costs a lot, whereas bandwidth (for text) is reasonably cheap. Am I missing something?
