Firefly Passport is the only product here without client software. The instant messaging features are Web-based. You get a personal Web page, a Flymail box, and access to chat rooms and bulletin boards.
Users wanting to send files or URLs are out of luck.
Web-based instant messaging is slow and clunky and cannot be recommended. Yet Firefly offers some unique personalization features, making it useful for meeting like-minded individuals. Though Firefly Passport keeps track of friends who are online, it does a better job of linking like-minded strangers. Personal Web pages let members tell a little about themselves, and a user directory is searchable by interests. Inc. All rights reserved.
