Use Campfire? Check out Pyro

Campfire is the web-based chat application by the folks at 37 Signals. It's full of Web 2.0 bells and whistles, and looks like a good means of cross-platform, application independent collaboration. Earlier this week, 37 Signals released the initial beta of Pyro for Campfire users who have Macs. They're calling it a "site-specific browser," in that its primary purpose in life is to interact with Campfire.* Enhancements Pyro offers include:

  • A single location for all your chats
  • Chat room/message status in the dock
  • Access all open rooms in a single window
Pyro is universal, free and requires a Campfire account (obviously). No specific OS requirements were given.

*No, the irony of using Mac OS-only application to interact with an application independent, cross platform chat system is not lost on us.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
