 Several expansions of the name were attempted, and the one settled on was "Are You Talking To Me?". The question mark is part of the name. The name Ayttm is a backronym and credit for coining this term goes to Natasha Sharma.Ayttm primarily supports one to one and group chatting on MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ, AIM, Jabber and IRC. It also has support for sending rudimentary emails via SMTP, which may be used to send SMS via email to SMS gateways. Ayttm also supports webcams on Yahoo! Messenger, and voice chatting over MSN using gnomemeeting. Service summary: * AOL Instant Messenger/ICQ * Internet Relay Chat * Jabber (Patch available to fix XMPP implementation bugs: necessary for Google Talk and maybe others) * MSN Messenger (Voice/Video using Gnomemeeting <-> Netmeeting) * SMTP (SMS via email to SMS gateway) * Workwizu * Yahoo! Messenger (including Webcam support) * Zephyr Fallback messaging The feature that sets Ayttm apart from other universal instant messengers is a feature known as fallback messaging. It allows you to group multiple service accounts of the same person under a Contact identifier. If you are chatting with a contact and the service you are using fails, Ayttm can automatically and seamlessly fall back to other service protocols. This results in an uninterrupted chat session for users on ayttm. Autotranslation Ayttm has a few fun features as well, including language translation. Each contact may be associated with a language, and ayttm can automatically translate text messages from the user's primary language to the language of a contact. Ayttm uses the Babelfish translation service, and results in translations that are often more amusing than accurate.  Aycryption Aycryption is a filter that facilitates encrypted chat using GPG keys. All outgoing text is encrypted using the remote contact's public key, and incoming encrypted text is decrypted using the local private key. Plugins Ayttm's plugin architecture makes it possible for new protocol support to be added without modifying the core application. Plugins must be compiled against a version of the core and will only work with core versions that are binary compatibile with the core version that the plugin was built against. Five types of plugins are supported: * Service plugins - for protocol support. eg: MSN. * Filter plugins - to modify incoming and outgoing messages. eg: Auto translation, aycryption * Importers - to import contacts and accounts from other messengers. * Smileys - a smiley pack * Utility - to add functionality. eg: Video capture, notes. |
