Firef.ly is a new service currently in beta created by Betaworks that turns any of your sites into a chat room. Before you say that you’ve seen this before listen here: There is no downloads. That’s right, two lines of code thrown into the footer of my coding (totally painless) and my site has now become it’s own chat room.
If you have a look at the bottom right of your screen, you should see a floating box with # Here, # Chatting, Start Chatting. Click start and the screen gets sort of an ‘overlay’ thing going. You can still scroll and look at whatever is on the site, but you can also move your mouse around and start typing. Where ever you type, it will create a little chat bubble that anybody else on the site can see.
Some of the extra features that look to be put in are the choice of pre-loaded cursors (because arrows are boring) and what looks to be the option to use an image of your own choosing (that doesn’t seem to work yet or I can’t figure out). There is also a twitter option to have certain parts of the convo go to twitter (again can’t get it to work). What IS working though is the time line feature. this allows you to scroll along the site’s time line and check out conversations from the past, which are conveniently marked with little white lines, turning the chat room into a nice form of bulletin board as well.
I really hope this service lasts, it seems to hold a lot of promise. What they really need now is to get a forum/blog going so we have some way to help them perfect this. They do have a blog, and it’s even listed at the bottom of the main page, I’m a tard. Thanks Andy. Anyway, check it out because it’s awesome. Remember to leave a message there when you check it out, I’ll be sure to see it.

So like, I was really bored today because everybody was at work. So I just sat around and did nothing. It was really depressing. I played a lot of Dofus, and realized I play it too much. It was depressing. Then I got hungry, and thought I had nothing in the fridge good to eat. But then I found a sub, so I was really happy. But then it was only a 6 inch, so I was still hungry, so it was depressing. So then after I ate I…

…And then I was like “No way!” And she was all like “She so totally did!” So then I was like “How can she do that, she just broke up with Kevin like 3 hours ago?!” and she was like “I know, she is such a tramp. I mean how is Kevin supposed to feel?” So then then I said “I know, he must be like totally heart broken now. Just wait until he finds out that she’s pregnant with his baby. We should like totally bake him some cookies.” So then Kristen walked in and was like “Hi girls, did you hear about Britney and Kevin?” and then Tiffany was all up in her face like “Don’t go spreading stuff about my girl Britney!” and she was all like “It ain’t no rumor girl, Amber saw them ….

We have just received live updates from our top story tonight. We go live to Bill in the field
Bill: Hey Eggo. It’s a real disaster out here, bodies everywhere, women and children crying, and grown men dancing around in dresses with pink elephants; and it’s just an all up disaster out here Eggo. We’re still not certain of the cause, but we have discovered that the suspect also enjoys ham and cheese on toast. As the officer on the scene here has just told me “We’re making a real break here, it should be cleared up in no time.” Looks like hope is on the way, Back to you Eggo.
Thanks Bill, Stay safe out there. We now return you to your post in progress.

SHIRT NINJA LIVE ACTION NEWS !!
Good evening viewer, for those of you just tuning in we’ve been following a breaking story. It appears that *static* has been *static*. Police have been scarce to reveal details, but our expert investigating team has penetrated their de fences. Our only leads until now have been that they love eggs, as well as ham and cheese on toast. However, we have just been informed of info that will crack this case wide open: the person is completely insane. They have discovered blog posts by the suspect on a site “ShirtNinja.net”. Let’s hope this gets sorted soon so we can all sleep.
We now return you to your post in progress.

…and that’s basically all i did all day. Then I went to sleep, and woke up again. How depressing is that. Then I got bored and decided I’d write to the people who read my blog. Then remembered that I got almost no feedback on my ShirtNinja’s New Hair Contest, so figure that nobody will give feedback to this either. So depressing. Whatever, I’ll just go listen to Something Corporate and write some poetry. So depressing, I know.
