Writely, was one. Latest - Meebo, a web-based IM client. Through Ajax, the folks at meebo were able to create a virtual application-like experience within a single web browsing window. meebo integrates a user’s accounts from AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, and ICQ into a single buddy list that is automatically populated upon signing into the meebo web site. Sort of like Trillian/Adium, but in a browser window. The interface is so simple and elegant. It is still alpha so be kind. It as a few issues, so be kinder. But this is slowly turning browser into more than just a browser. Like Writely, Meebo is a three-person start-up. Elaine Wherry – the Ajax guru; Sandy Jen - Server side programming; and Seth Sternberg - jack of everything else. Mark Jen has an indepth look at this app. In Broadband Life Posted Wednesday, September 14, 2005 at 3:02 PM PT [...] [...] As Ajax spreads it wings, folks are using it to come up with cool new apps.

Things are already in motion to be able to handle more users soon as well as new features.

I know these guys. This is a bootstrapped project and they just got discovered by the blogsphere. So the server is overloaded. They need to get more iron and that's going to get expensive. Preston, would you pay to use Writely? If not, don't call it lame to limit registrations. Call it rational. It may seem lame, but you gotta be realistic. I know these guys.
