Google takes down HuddleChat

Google had launched HuddleChat, this is a real-time application which was designed to show off their Google App Engine platform. However a few bloggers have noticed that the app is in fact a rip off of Camfire, this is a product made by 37Signals.

Many believe that this reaction from bloggers is stupid, however Google have said that it is a fight that they do not wish to get involved in, so decided to take HudleChat down.

However, it seems as if Michael Arrington from Tech Crunch is outraged by this and would like for Google to bring back HuddleChat.
