I wonder if blatantly copying Campfire is included? Check out HuddleChat, a complete copy of Campfire, right down to the layout. Watch the video on the right of the HuddleChat page then take a look at the screenshots/video page for Campfire.
I know HuddleChat is supposed to be a demo of the Google App Engine and not an actual product but they could've put at least a little effort in and not just ripped of 37 Signals.
I agree. And yet I can't help but notice that the style of interface is not exactly that original to begin with. For the most part they both try to emulate a chat window with tabs to other concurrent conversations. What really shows they are copying is that they left the word "beta" out of the name :).
