I love the fact that the chat is linked to a specific web-site, blog etc. Does that mean that when I visit a particular site (e.g., techcrunch), I could immediately get roped into a chat with other like-minded people? If this is the case, this has some serious networking opportunities. That is, set up a site (networker) with professional sections and send out the invites. Crack open a bottle of wine next to the computer, collect a few electronic business cards and network away!! Like Blaze, I am happy to see some Australian web applications starting up.

I had a look at the application they have been developing for the last 18 months now which is an instant messaging and communication app that is based around a concept they call ‘instant grouping’.Instant grouping means that any number of people can take part in conversations around topics of interest they find on the web or in other applications. The application allows users to subscribe to a group – which can then be linked to any number of blogs, websites, music files (in iTunes or other apps), a point on a map or anything else. The conversations are persistent so you don’t need to be there when other people are and the desktop application will notify you when something new happens in a group.
