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.

It was a freaking chat room!

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.

Agreed. Scroll-wheel not working and a pain to grab. Annoying.

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

Google Wave... it so obvious now :)
