‘Simply the best thing to hit the Internet since the Web’
Hypernix’s Gooey was a web chat product that created a separate, site specific chat group for every site a user visited. These site specific chat groups were displayed in a discreet popup window and would - in theory - allow a group of otherwise disparate users to collaborate and discuss the sites themes. An MIT Review article suggested that most of the initial 46,000 users congregated on various portal sites rather than diversifying outwards.
