"Weather.IM Live" is a pure web browser instant messaging client for WeatherIM. The purpose of the application is to provide users with a painless means to join the WeatherIM conversation without installing third party software or worrying about local network firewalls. Since this application runs purely over HTTPS (port 443) and without third party browser plugins, almost all users should be able to run this application without local modifications. The only requirement is for a modern web browser that supports javascript on a desktop or laptop computer. Mobile phone usage is not supported.

This application is under rapid development and may contain bugs. Please report bugs and suggestions to akrherz@iastate.edu. Please be sure to mention the version and brand of web browser you use.
