Anyone else heard about this? A friend turned me on to it a while back, but the presentation was just made the other day.

Depends how paranoid you want to get, because floating something like this would be a cool way for TPTB to get lots of bad guys to chat over one central monitorable point

Kind of like the urban legend - or is it! - of a version of the Anarchist's Cookbook which is designed to blow up anyone trying to follow the bomb making recipes....

I did "like" (and by that I mean, "raise my eyebrow at") them saying it's a P2P system that relies on a central server. That part I didn't like. What impressed me mostly was how much browsers are starting to do. I'm one of the first to pooh-pooh Web 2.0 buzzwordiness, but HTML 5 and JavaScript are shaping up to be pretty powerful tools. The next couple of years...iPhone vs. Palm Pre, Chrome, Office 2010, etc...is going to be interesting to watch as a web developer.
