A quick meeting room with useful features, as what most people only need, as what nodejs+socketio is good at. No instant messengers, no installation, and more real time features (shared todo list, email conversation, etc). Send your conversation and notes after the meeting. [*Note: app is on linode (http://rdzv.us:7777 or http://109.74.194.50:7777), not joyent (node-pp.no.de) which I can’t get websocket working there]

contestantPretty cool implementation of an “ephemeral” chat system, with very little setup required. Could be very useful for quick meetings/discussions.
I like the minimalistic feel of the design overall. In terms of features, I would have liked some sort of “hidden/safe” chatroom generator, that generated random strings as channel names for you automatically. (e.g. “s6bNkqP8shb5”)
I absolutely love the domain name.
dan_mangesjudgeUtility: Works really well for an ad hoc chat. I’d especially use it for a quick planning discussion since the boxes on the left make it easy to compile a list of key points.
Design: Minimalistic design, easy to understand and use. I wish I could keep multiple boxes open.
Innovation: The boxes are a new addition to web based chat apps.
Completeness: Previous messages were a good idea to make this really feel complete. It looks like the chat transcript / account activation isn’t quite done. Is there a way to delete something from the boxes?
Overall, a cool idea. I hope you had fun building it!

contestantGreat design. Not fun with only one person, but I’d imagine with others it would be. Sure it might just be websockets, but the design is great.
therazorbladejudgeIt does what it supposed to but there isn’t much there beyond a basic socket.io example.
sventuredjudgeBit clumsy at this stage, but I like the interactive commands, and the idea that you could chat ad hoc. Also, good consideration of different uses – e.g., quick to do list, mailing your conversation.

nice lightweight tool for spontaneous online meetings. needs to better handle user accounts and logins. needs to address common security issues, but a great start.
