It was started a year ago (before anyone knew about googlewave), and it was started as an open source alternative to Campfire, so that heavily regulated corporations could run it inside their firewalls. It was initially envisioned as group chat app, but later the social networking aspect was added. As the result this app has a lot more potential of replacing twitter then googlewave. It's like twitter but without all the twitter limitations – it does not have the 140 limit and it's real time (and on top of that it's open source). Give it a try – it's still raw and could use some developers help, but the potential is there. great points, actually there is a truly opensource project happening on the web right now http://echowaves.com (even the name coincidentally sounds familiar).
