I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

The last time I heard the word beeper it referred to a pager. You kids know what a pager was?

Some time ago I found my old CocaCola Beeper. That time might've been 10+ years ago...
