I think that's the point. :)

  This is IRC-like chat in a web browser. Campfire is much, much more than that.

    I guess it wasn't so much more that it was not possible to copy it in a few days work.

    This is satire. And I wouldn't call Campfire much, much more than in-browser IRC. In fact, 37Signals wouldn't even call it that. Campfire is simple, but well-designed software. That's one reason I was confused that they saw the wireframe of a design that is HuddleChat and claimed that their look and feel was stolen . . .

    Could you explain how it is more?

      True transcript history (not just the last 15 messages). Searchable transcripts and file uploads. Inline image preview. View Paste link generated when code snippets are posted. Invitation mechanism and permission settings. Better U/I.

        I'm confused...Every IRC client I've used since the Amiga days had pretty much everything you've described (except image preview and maybe the "View Paste link generated" thing that I can't parse into anything sensible in my head). And all of them had/have a very similar UI to Campfire. I'm not saying Campfire isn't useful (I don't know, I've never used it), but it sounds like you're basing your IRC comparison on a client that has long been lost to history. Modern (as in less than 15 years old) IRC clients have great transcript support, file transfers, and easy to use permissions (you have to have channel moderator privileges to use them, but they are definitely easy).

          I think the "paste link" thing means that long messages, that would otherwise appear as floods, are auto-converted into links to auto-submitted snippets of the same text on a Pastebin-like site.

  mIRC sues Campfire over design infringement... Campfire heard telling mIRC the 90's called and wanted their software back. More at 5!
