CAMPFIRE: Instant Messaging On the Next Level

I heard about an innovative company, 37 Signals, that has 6 free web 2.0 applications that are SIMPLE, and cool... The one that I want to try out with FRIENDS and FAMILY is Campfire....
Instant messaging is great for one-on-one chats, but it's not ideal for groups of three or more. Further, instant messaging is network dependent — if you are on AIM, and your co-worker is on MSN or Skype, you can't instant message. Campfire is network-agnostic, optimized for groups, and only requires a web browser.
It's elegant, easy, and web-based. You don't need to download, install, or configure anything (no IT department required!). All you need is a modern web browser and an internet connection.
