I must be an old curmudgeon because whenever I see Campfire I think "it's like IRC but with a better client" and wonder what the big deal is. Sure, it's in a browser but is it really that big a deal? I just can't seem to get properly excited about Campfire and it's ilk.
IRC is still great
The only thing I dislike about Campfire is that it doesn't support some other protocol, like XMPP or IRC, so that I can use it in a normal chat client, with normal chat client features, like desktop notifications. This one doesn't seem to, either.
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..

It was a freaking chat room!
It was a note for note cover of the 37Signals UI that was clearly designed to evoke Campfire, done by Google. What's the web chat room designed prior to Campfire that looks virtually identical to Campfire?

great product! I love it. We currently use Jaconda.im at my office. Holla seems as good ! Only one little bug in the demo, when I click on "XMPP/Jabber" I'm redirect to http://getholla.com/$%7BgetXMPP%28%29%7D with an error (The page you were looking for doesn't exist)
Ah yes, I'm planning on adding xmpp support soon - it shouldn't have been exposed on getholla (it's stripped out of the Github version)
Have tried Campfire, Ignite/sparkweb, all the versions of jabber I can find, and various IRC servers. So far I have not found a single one that I can successfully install on a RHEL server that will do both a web interface and an XMPP/Jabber backend so that my team can communicate effectively.
