So, what is this place anyway?
Lingr is an open community of chatrooms. You can chat about anything you want, in public or private rooms. No account is required, and no special software. Just choose a room and start chatting!
We support all modern browsers: Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Camino, etc.
So go ahead and find some rooms, start chatting, and let us know what you think!
And who’s behind it?
Danny Burkes – Architect
Danny has spent over 25 years fascinated with computers and software. To put things into a succinct historical perspective, he was one of the original PCjr owners.
Prior to Lingr, he designed, implemented, and supported both desktop and web-based applications for companies like Lotus Development and General Magic, accumulating several patents along the way, as well as an impressive collection of rack screws and patch cords.
In his spare time, he enjoys listening to jazz, collecting and enjoying wine, and acting like a complete idiot with his family.

Chris Boone – Designer
Through his small design studio Hypsometry, Chris has worked on a wide range of web projects. Of them all, Lingr is the most exciting yet.
Chris lives in San Francisco, when he’s not off wandering somewhere. His last adventure was a return to the Green River. And he had dinner with a ghost last weekend, up in BC.
He blogs at Hypsometry, keeps some photos on flickr, tumbles at Hypsography, Twitters too much, and summarizes his professional life roughly and incompletely on LinkedIn.
Satoshi Nakagawa – Programmer
Since he met NeXTSTEP in his undergraduate days, Satoshi has been devoted to GUI and networking technologies. Chat software was precisely what he first built on NeXTSTEP.
He is known as the guy behind LimeChat, the most widely-used IRC client in Japan, which he created while studying computer science at the university.
Kenn Ejima – Philosopher
Kenn’s love of computer programming began at the age of seven. Since then, his life has been totally computer oriented.
Prior to moving to the Bay Area and forming the Lingr team in 2006, he spent most of his career working on enterprisey software in Japan, where he grew up.
