No offense, but that custom scroll bar on the right is incredibly annoying. It's way to skinny to grab with the mouse without paying an inordinate amount of attention to my pointer.

Making a custom scroll bar that is a beautiful and unique snowflake is probably a recipe for failure. See, e.g., http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20050711.html

Very nice. Another nitpick - I really like what Apple have been trying to do to in creating a UI affordance that says "this is a search box" - i.e. a text entry with round ends. I hope all the devs out there can join in and not use that appearance for regular text fields.

The screenshot doesn't fit in my normal browser window and I don't get a horizontal scrollbar to pan to the right. Could just be Firefox 4 being buggy though.

Oh boy.. remember when Google App Engine launched with a demo (and free) app resembling Campfire? 37signals cried foul until Google took it offline. Let's hope 37s doesn't hear about this one..

To their defense, that demo did look very much like a clone of Campfire.
