campfire_logo.gifBack in the 90s there was this cool method of chatting with other users, irrespective of their location. It was called IRC. Indeed, the technology has not disappeared, but the amount of press coverage it receives is minimal. However, the idea lives on. IRC enabled developers from multiple locations to enter a (closed) chat room and have a real-time discussion about a subject. As IRC enabled you to send a file directly to another user (or group of users) it made chatting and working with code, ideal.

Campfire is a business chat or developer-based chat system that enables multiple users from different locations to login and chat. You can share files, make them available to other users for download later and use the system as a depositry for code and other info. With Campfire, a person can simply upload an image to the chat, for real-time preview, enabling the other users within the discussion to see a pictorial example of an issue.
