"What's cool is that PowWow 3.7 lets you go back to the days of independent BBSes...by giving community hosters complete control not only over who can join, but what rights they have. It has a profanity filter and gives you the ability to assign users as discussion moderators. You might fear that PowWow would have trouble with performance should user loads become too high, but it's actually quite speedy."

"The beauty of PowWow is, you won't be bombarded by unwanted messages from users outside your chat group, because you can run PowWow as a background application, even setting it to 'answering machine' mode so you're not disturbed."

"What is new is Tribal Voice's low-infrastructure, low-overhead approach to Internet chat. Whereas most chat systems require users to remain connected to centralized servers, Tribal Voice is keeping server involvement to a minimum by letting clients maintain connections among themselves."

"We chose PowWow as an integral part of LOCALE because it offers existing groups an easy, multi-faceted way to enrich their interactions by coming online. Like PowWow, LOCALE was created as a way to empower existing groups to make the most of the Internet, whether that be opening online stores or finding an easy way to coordinate practice times of the local Little League teams. We look forward to working with Tribal Voice to help all types of local organizations make the most of the power of broadband."

"Tribal Voice's technology is great for any work group. This is a great tool for a project team that needs to share information and thoughts interactively. I think this is particularly interesting for the virtual office with members spread out around the world or in a building at the other end of the campus."

Randal Vaughn, Professor, Baylor University

"I chose PowWow because it gave me all the tools I needed to best communicate with my students, and then gave me the ability to create communities on my own, without interference or annoying ads. PowWow has made a huge difference in my classes for the past three years. The software allows me to create communities on my own and adjust each community to best fit each class's needs."

"I just wanted to thank the creators of Powwow for such a wonderful program! My fiancee, who's halfway across the continent and I, find it a very inexpensive way to keep in touch and keep our phone bills down!! Thanks again!"

"Well thought I would share this with you. Fritz and I met on PowWow almost two years ago. He was a PowWow Guide then when there were just a few chat rooms. I was in Texas, USA, and he was in Vienna, Austria. We chatted, we met, and now are celebrating our first year together here in Vienna. PowWow was a real romance connection. We now have our own PowWow chat room - Cafe Vienna. I am also a regular in the Over40 community and my friends are there when I need a shoulder to cry on, or just a laugh or two. PowWow has made the big cruel world, a much smaller and friendlier place. Thanks PowWow."

"PowWow was the first communication program I used when I got my first internet account and being in the Navy at the time with 2 brothers in the service and consequently having family all over the world, it was a convenient and inexpensive way to keep up with them. I started using it with the first version that came out and the advancements since then have been tremendous. Especially the additions of the board games and the buddy lists. Keep up the good work."

N. Dery, PowWow Customer

"I have been using Pow Wow to communicate with my best friend every Sunday for almost 2 years. We have tried ALL the voice chat programs, free or not. Believe me when I say, it was exhausting, discouraging, and frustrating. We stumbled upon this tiny little download called PowWow and have never looked back. You have no idea how comforting it is to be able to TALK to someone you love and CLEARY hear every single emotion in their voice. It warms my heart beyond words. I thought it was time I said thank you. Your product is wonderful. Please keep up the good work."

J. Parsons, PowWow Customer

"I've been using PowWow for well over a year now. I think PowWow is a very awesome program, and I refer a lot of people to use it (if they don't have it), but I just love PowWow because it's very simple to use and the interface is cool. I definitely loved the buddy list system, and because it runs smoothly, I can talk without the breakups I sometimes get with other programs...that's why I love it, and I will keep on using it, Tribal Voice is doing an awesome job in my eyes, and I wish them the very best in the future..... :) Thank you again"

"PowWow "...transform[s] that boring idiot box (the traditional chat room) into something that is actually useful...think of it as a turbo-charged America Online chat room..."

"International PowWows are shrinking the world and bringing us together as connecting neighborhoods form a community."

The (Colorado Springs) Gazette
February 16, 1998

"PowWow can be loosely compared to a neighborhood coffee house, where people gather to renew acquaintances, take up the topic of the day or just scope out the opposite sex…The heart of PowWow is the community. There are 4,000 of them now, with more popping up all the time, encompassing everything from gardening to the love lives of thirtysomethings."
