>IRC heavily for work
Curious. How do you make use of IRC for work? I want to do this. D:
Also, I recently bought a Mac (my first), and installed LimeChat, which I've used on both the iPad and iPhone/iPod devices. I have not given it nearly as much use yet on OSX, but I figured it is worth mentioning.
Didn't know about Textual, but DO know about LimeChat!
What a ripoff! They basically sell LimeChat, an opensource IRC client...
Get the awesome LimeChat IRC client at http://limechat.net/mac/
-Leagues
-Prizes(donations and prize giving)
-Categorize and group by genre as well as individual game
-Integrated IRC client (most tournaments use irc for organisation in the ArenaFPS scene) http://limechat.net/mac/
-Integrated Twitch of the streamer
-Player/Organiser Social media-esqe pages with detailed info about their win/loss for each tournament they participated in and prizes. --Integration with API of the game to pull in that players results for the games played in the tournament + general player profile/stats for each game.
Do all that very well and you could build a business model that takes 5-10% from prize fund for each tournament and has premium features for a subscription (player profiles).
Not very knowledgeable regarding how these work... but a quick google search gave me these results:
All of those are Mac-compatible. Up to you to figure out whether they work for you or not. :P Good luck.
