Incredible news. This day couldn't come soon enough.

You're right, to some extent it is what I'm talking about, however they state "People in these circles who also enable chat will be able to see when you're online and chat with you." and it feels like more of an all-or-nothing system (adding or removing Circles entirely from Chat).

Whereas Facebook's single-click 'on the fly' interface is superior to this - all groups always visible, one-click online and expanded, one-click offline and collapsed.

Somewhat related to point 7: Integrate Circles with Google Chat, and allow users to set different visibility per Circle.

As buggy as Facebook Chat is, this feature exponentially increases the value proposition for me. (You can leave certain Friend Lists offline, while having others online.)

It's 2011 and even companies like Skype still haven't implemented this, despite it being requested repeatedly by users.

You can't honestly expect users to have the same 'Available', 'Busy', or 'Invisible' status for a chat list that could contain hundreds of people ranging from friends and family to classmates, business contacts, acquaintances, etc.

When working on a project, I need to appear 'Available' to everybody else involved, while leaving other contact groups offline so as not to be contacted about trivial matters that don't require an immediate response.

Other people I've discussed this with have said things like not wishing to be 'Available' to work colleagues outside of work hours.

The list is endless, and any company that takes Instant Messaging seriously needs this. IM isn't going anywhere.

They recently got $100 million in financing, and 'revenues rumored to be above $50 million a year'.

I assume English is not his first language, as he also just made a job posting (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2422799) which has the same errors such as "din't".

I like how they got 'milk' on Twitter and Facebook.

How long until they pick up milk.com? - http://milk.com/value/

I've literally just started coding my highest-potential product today. Exactly five years later.

So I guess I have to finish in 8 days then!

Anybody notice how it shares the name with HTC's 'ThunderBolt' 4G phone being released, and how it looks like both Intel and HTC have trademarks on the word?

They should separate their marketing and support departments.

There are two types of people:

Those who watch the Super Bowl, and those who run ads during the Super Bowl.

Ah okay, thanks for that.

All the best with the product!

I think you mean LaunchRock.

The two guys at the table are whispering about him.

"It always seems impossible until it's done"

and

"Luck is what you make it"

So this SEO expert walks into a bar, grill, pub, public house, Irish bar, bartender, drinks, beer, wine, liquor

It should be "else's".

A visionary, to say the least.
