Great Find: Campfire Group Chat

Well, it looks like a Great Find . . . I haven’t tried it. I don’t have that many friends who want to talk to me for extended periods of time. It sports and testimonial from Dick Costolo, however. I betcha he has more friends than I do.

Ã¢â¬ÅOne chat with Campfire and you won’t remember how you got by without it.Ã¢â¬?

Great Find: Campfire Group Chat
Type of Tool: Simple Web-based group chat system
Permalink: http://www.campfirenow.com/
Target Audience: Small businesses and groups who want to meet online with password protected privacy and little hassle
Content: Campfire is a pasword-protected, multiroom chat system offers folks a place to meet online. It requires only an online connection and a browser–no download, no installation, no IT person to set up anything. Campfire allows folks to get together in real time to have online conversations, complete with transcripts, and to share files and preview images. It includes an outer room — the Lobby — the chat room, which holds up to 60 people, and a private room, which can be locked for an off-the-record chat — no transcripts are taken. To see more about Campfire, click the screenshot below.

Sounds like an functional program that small businesses could find real use for. Can’t possibly be Web 2.0.

Who’s going to be the first to try it and write a review for Successful Blog?
