My latest lark is ProxChat, which is a full scale rip off of a web app I remember from about 15 years ago. But, I can't remember the name. Something like Pinenum? Platinumpad? It was a proximity-based simple text chat app with a buddy list, and it was great for things like conferences and classrooms.
