I don't get the complaining. It's a sample to show the power of AE. It's not as if Google has released HuddleChat on the level of Gmail or Google Maps. Speaking of which, does anyone know if Yahoo or MS complained about design copying when Gmail was released? From the comments of the RWW post about this http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/huddlechat_campfire_rip.php http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/huddlechat_campfire_rip... """ As one of the App Engine product managers, I wanted to give an update -- we've now taken HuddleChat down from the App Engine app gallery. The App Engine team was looking for some sample apps to help kick the tires on their new system, so we invited Googlers to build some as side projects. A couple of our colleagues here built HuddleChat in their spare time because they wanted to share work within their team more easily and thought persistent web chat would do the trick. We've heard some complaints from the developer community, though, so rather than divert attention from Google App Engine itself, we thought it better to just take HuddleChat down. Thanks, Pete Koomen Product Manager, Google App Engine Team """
