Scrolltalk.com

Last weekend, I took part in Startup Weekend West Lafayette. Together, 37 founders and myself launched Scrolltalk.com, an ironically-named startup which emphasizes a new spin on chat - linking you up with other active talkers who are discussing things you care about.

I didn't do all the development on this site. What I accomplished over the weekend was:

• Built an AJAX polling-based chat-room with prototype and php.
  
• Created a php/AJAX system for adding tags and friends.
• Created language rules with php and MySQL that helps you filter conversations to just those you're interested in.
• Created a system to generate random user accounts for guests.
• Built a regex-based system for adding and removing friends and tags with keyword shortcuts.

There's a more detailed post about the weekend here on Neat Things. Or just check out the scrolltalk tech demo and try it for yourself!

Update: We got mentioned in the Washington Post! Hurrah!
