Here's some exciting Nurph news! Yesterday's blog post about Nurph solving the 140 character problem for @swombat & @destraynor was submitted to Hacker News by a kind HN community member, and it remained at number 3 in the charts for quite some time. We received some great feedback, we chatted with lots of interesting people in http://Nurph.com/Allstartups, and we spotted lots of Twitterers enjoying using Nurph to break out of the 140 character limit and to chat in real-time with other Twitter users.

Have been waiting for something like nurph.com for a while. Thanks for the link @swombat!

Many interesting points cropped up, most notably the use of the Nurph "Channel" naming convention. Lots of people seemed to refer to Nurph Channels as Twitter Chat Rooms (i.e. Nurph Chat Rooms). Twitter users who've used IRC will understand the Channel terminology, but every other Twitter user will probably have a better grasp of what a Room is. So let's have a vote. Do you prefer the sound of Nurph Channels or Nurph Rooms? Use the following poll to cast your vote: (click the link to go directly to the poll page, or use the yellow form below):
