Rambler is a prototype of a tool that I describe as inspired by IRC, Campfire and Twitter. It uses Faye (an implementation of the Bayeux protocol) so it's "real-time". I started building it during some downtime at Ododpod.
Odopod uses Yammer. Have you used it? It's bastard child of Facebook and Twitter. It's also catered towards huge groups of people, not a studio of 52. I think it's ugly and over-complicated, and I was really bored one day.
I'm not a developer, I just play a developer in real-life sometimes. Tell me what I'm doing wrong or just laugh at me.
A kindofworking demo can be played with at http://rambler.pris.ma. You'll need a Facebook account with a url, like facebook.com/arbales not like /profile.php?1234567.
