37signals, the company behind Basecamp and Ruby On Rails have launched their next application: Campfire. Campfire is a chat application, that shares some traits with Internet Relay Chat but runs inside a web browser. There are some added benefits like searchable transcripts, file sharing. Plus, it looks really nice:

I’m running on the 30 days trial account to see, if it solves enough problems that it’s worth to shell out $12 per month for a regular account.

As an experiment, I have setup a public InVisible Chat Room where you can find me, when I’m online.
