Please please please if you are going to require a Facebook or twitter or google or MySpace or whatever new service-of-the-month login, please put a video or screenshots so we can see the offering first. It's like asking for a social security number without telling what you plan to do with it.
Hey niggler, totally agree. If it was a product I'd definitely do it but is just a hack. If you're still interested in checking it out, the code (and screenshot) is here: https://github.com/malditogeek/lalo
OP here, this is related with a story I've seen today: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5330020
I've been working on a similar concept but based on IRC.
Once authenticated with your Twitter account you can join a room using the URL, the path represents a channel. Being IRC based means that you can join the same channel using an IRC client.

The instant Twitter auth kills it for me, sorry.
Not sure how this is better than http://qwebirc.org/ which is actually a fully featured IRC client.
I don't get what it is and don't want to make a twitter account to find out.
Could someone explain what is and why it needs a twitter account.

No idea what this is, I get a Twitter login page.
This is an IRC channel from just a URL: irc://irc.efnet.org/HN
What's the difference?

was kinda interested - but first step being a twitter authorised killed curiosity right then and there..
suggest maybe linking to something of an explanation before jumping straight into auth-step

Also, just added a welcome page ;)

tl;dr: ircd with integrated web client.
I'm not sure what advantage you get from the integration here, compared to a conventional ircd and a web gateway?

Oh interesting...back button.

Once authenticated with your Twitter account you can join a room using the URL, the path represents a channel. As I said, it's based on IRC which means that you can also join the same room using an IRC client.
