The good thing about symmetric key encryption in the browser is easy enough to check. You just need to make sure that messages/images are encrypted before being sent to the server, and that the password is never sent to the server. Also ChatStep uses sjcl so the crypto isn't homemade like CryptoCat.

This is nice, but I'd love to see some more important features opened up instead- things like huddle on mobile web and working video playback in the Android app would be great.
Worked well in Chrome 10 on Windows 7 for the first few minutes then crashed. Adding files was a little bit slow but the audio playback and tagging worked well. Nicely done though, it's very cool!
I read this as 'don't hate the playa hate the game'
If somebody wants to use their iPad to play Farmville, great for them. They can and still will find something just as pointless or stupid to do without the iPad or without Facebook. Just because it lets you do some pointless crap doesn't make it a bad tool, and it certainly doesn't mean that everyone who uses the tool is using it for that pointless crap.
to add my own creepy connection story I discovered today that FB will suggest that I add the friends of anybody who invites me to become their friend, whether or not I am connected with any of the other people
