PowWow Chat
History
The company was founded at the end of 1994 by the software millionaire John McAfee, founder of McAfee Associates (now called McAfee). On its website, the company described itself initially as a 'Native American' company run by Native Americans. As the company grew, the Native American references gradually disappeared.
In 1998 McAfee brought in Joseph Esposito, formerly the president and CEO of Encyclopædia Britannica, to run the company. The company started in Woodland Park, Colorado and later located its corporate headquarters in Scotts Valley, California, both in the USA.
In the late 1990s Tribal Voice began to OEM the PowWow software in order to increase market share. While most of these deals were insubstantial, several were with high-profile companies, including AT&T's WorldNet internet service provider (ISP), search engine/portal AltaVista and FreeServe, a United Kingdom-based ISP.
PowWow was one of the first instant messaging programs to provide interoperability between multiple instant messaging clients and was compatible with both AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and Microsoft's MSN Messenger.

Feature
One of the niftiest features in the new TinyChat is the implementation of a push to talk button. A typical video and audio chat with multiple users can often be ruined by echo from a user who doesn't use headphones. TinyChat now asks users if they have headphones when they sign in - if they don't, the application will automatically put them into the push to talk mode.

Feature
When you have been inactivity in a room for a period of time, you are asked to confirm that you are still following it. If you don't respond within a certain time, you will be logged out automatically. This saves free spots and system resources for more active users.
In a Premium Room, the timeout values is set by the administrator. In a free room, the timeout depends on the number of visitors in the room:
- 60 minutes if there are 6 or fewer visitors in the room
- 50, 40, 30 or 20 minutes, respectively, if there are 7, 8, 9 or 10 visitors
- 15 minutes if people are waiting in line to enter the room (more than 10 visitors).
