Ember let you chat, view transcripts, jump between rooms, share pictures in a Campfire chat. It was beautifully done. It caught our eye."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1280330954.usr105634.jpg" style="margin-left: 200px; margin-right: 200px;" /></p><p>They liked it so much, they bought it. If you aren't familiar, Campfire is a group chat client that can be used to communicate with team members, clients, etc. And now as a bonus, they have decided to make the normally $9.99 USD app (formerly called Ember) free, renaming it appropriately enough <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/37signals-campfire/id377401986?mt=8" target="_blank">37Signals Campfire</a>. You do need a Campfire account to use it, which requires a <a href="http://campfirenow.com/signup" target="_blank">monthly plan</a> ranging from $12.00 USD to $99.00 USD, but if this is something of interest to your group or company you can at least try it for 30 days free. </p>
