I wonder what a mashup of twitter/4chan/foursquare would look like. In my large lectures, it's not uncommon for more than half of the students to have laptops open and on facebook. Imagine being able to have a real time discussion in a classroom/stadium/concert hall that's completely anonymous.
I got bored one weekend and created a rough working version using rails, but I scrapped it because I didn't want to maintain the site much less promote it.
What do you all think?

Most programming conferences have some kind of "backchannel", such as BackNoise(.com), that is just what you describe. And the results are not always pretty: http://blog.weatherby.net/2009/09/dont-blame-backnoise-atlanta-new-media-conference.html http://blog.weatherby.net/2009/09/dont-blame-backnoise-atlan...
