How is BitWise different from other IM programs such as AIM, ICQ, Yahoo or MSN?
There are three answers to this question. First, BitWise is different because it is not supported by advertising or spyware. When using BitWise, whether the program itself, the website, or the forums, there are no distracting ads. Along with this comes an increased privacy–BitWise doesn’t need any information about you to target ads to you. Secondly, BitWise is committed to providing high-quality software. Software quality has declined rapidly in the past few years, which is unacceptable to us. Our testing stages are very long and rigorous to ensure only the highest quality software is released to you. Third, BitWise works across all major PC platforms without any difficulty. Windows, Linux and Mac OS X all work harmoniously together. Many other services suffer problems when interoperating, but there are no such problems in BitWise. Every feature works, all of the time, on each platform.
