Had a good look at the article, app and various other bits. Some comments:

- sydney based: http://www.martinjwells.com & previously of dot communications ~ http://www.dot.com.au/about/people.htm

- Founder wrote the article (how he wrangled that one I'll never know. one way to get some press)

- more a platform than a tool and used as discussion, blog, as a startup ( http://martinjwells.wordpress.com/2007/04/15/goodbye-blogging )

- realtime (slow): scalability problems will be a problem (testing scalability of your engine is the new 'create a blog engine')

- appears to be imitating myspace: supply the tools, create a community to grow

- ui problems in that from title link in index to detail content there is another layer. Imagine using google and having to click the item found, then another before you get to the content but they seem to be aware of this and concentrating on growing userbase and fixing it rather than wait and design the best user experience ever.
