Create a chat, copy the URL, paste it wherever you want.
Perfect for those that would like to continue a discussion on a social network without having to sign up for anything.
Nicely done. Seems like the technology is there now to do this relatively easily. I did it too on Google App Engine. Took me more than a weekend though. Did it for my wife, she uses it on chinese gossip sites.
Similar to what I am doing with http://chatfor.us except I have been planning to add authentication sources to better identify people and control moderation. Your approach is interesting, easier to implement too. I may have to think about that.
did something similar, with some twists http://270rule.appspot.com no (!) usernames, is a bookmarklet to use on top of existing sites, and has a feed for those sites and activities
seriously cool. looks like chat is the new 'to-do list' and I mean that in a good way. if anything it is more fun and interactive to build.
i also did something similar except the chat room generation is automatic and based on your location. Basically http://getyoucoffee.com/ will decide which chat room you are assigned to based on your location. it's pretty huge in cities with subways.
Our developer understood the views on Couch and simply couldn't get Mongo's views working with nodeJS. It's a human preference and works out perfectly - so far.
Hey are you guys planning on doing a blog entry on how you developed this? I know next to nothing about Node.js and co and it seems like a good choice for a lot of my ideas.
We're actually pretty much starting the whole thing up so don't have a blog URL yet. When we do, those following us on twitter (https://twitter.com/#!/mssgs) will be the first to know where to find the blog.
