Would like your opinion: do you think this is still a viable opportunity- serving this niche? (paid team chat)

..or is Campfire/HipChat/whatever-else-is-left "good enough" to make it not worthwhile?

Hosted IRC is an awkward place to be.

Those that don't give a fuck are using Campfire/HipChat.

Those that do give a fuck are usually hosting their own IRC.

Find a way to squeeze out both and you have a potentially nice business model. (Hosted IRC + nice web clients for paying customers?)
