<p class="lead">The group communication product you've always wanted.</p>
<p>Email. We all get too much of it.</p>
<p>Why? Because there really isn't anything better out there
today. <em>Maybe</em> you're using a chat system for some
messages, but by and large, everything else is going to your
email. And while that may have worked in 1970, email is no longer
a good catch-all for your communication in this day and age.</p>
<p>More concerningly, the most important kind of
communication&mdash;group conversation&mdash;isn't being done
electronically today at all. Email is neither instantaneous nor
conversational. Getting a substantive back-and-forth going on
Twitter or Facebook is an exercise in frustration. And the group
"chat" products that exist today are a mess&mdash;their model is
all wrong.</p>
<p>What would a good system do? Well, for starters, it would:</p>
<ul>
<li>Encourage truly conversational interactions (which means that it must support real-time communication), but also</li>
<li>Work naturally when people aren't online at the same time, and</li>
<li>Let you easily follow many different conversations</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>That's where Humbug comes in</strong>. Based on our
experience at MIT, Ksplice, and Oracle, we're solving this
problem, with a webapp and native mobile apps for Android and
iPhone. We are currently in closed beta.</p>
