It’s innovative, fresh, new, and another generic-sounding word describing something innovative, fresh, and new.
It’s Firef.ly.
Since it’d be easier to simply show you what it is first, click on the slider above to open it up (please hop on over to this page, RSS readers). An overlay will appear on Blog Badly and you’ll be able to type anywhere on it. If there is another reader here that’s using the app, you’ll be able to talk with them. I’ll be here for the next hour or so checking back on it, so you can talk to the famed owner of this prestigious blog
SO WHAT IS FIREFLY, EXACTLY?
One could describe it as a fancy pants chat client (because that’s basically what it is), but lets get into the nitty gritty: it’s a chat application that you install on your site/blog using a simple piece of code that allows for easy reader-to-reader-to-owner interaction. This takes place in a simple overlay that allows you to type messages and view what others using Firef.ly on the site are doing in real-time. This is a killer app because it’s
- simple
- easy-to-implement
- user-friendly
There is, of course, one problem: you need to have quite a few willing users for it to work, and a good amount of traffic. I’m counting on you guys to provide your feedback, whether in the comments section of this post or just by typing it into the app (it saves chat history too – and I can ban you troublemakers [even more cool features]).
