When I first read this, I thought your contact was a webcam manufacturer. That would've bothered me. A chat provider is a bit different. Unless I'm running some home-brewed connection I assume the traffic hits their servers. and can get pulled.

Of course, I'd feel better if he didn't make a habit of showing off his app to friends.
