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.

We're thinking about adding popular (trending) topics and indeed position based topics. But these features could wait for the beta launch!

It's a great idea though, thanks for sharing!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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 are now. Look out for next week!

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.

I used jquery on the front and golang on the back.

Where exactly? I wanted to subscribe but I couldn't find a blog url. Probably because of the language. ;)

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.
