Sounds like focusing on technology, rather than a clear problem that you have a solution to.
Comet technology (If you want to call it that) is fantastic. I wrote http://www.mibbit.com using the techniques, and you can bet it loads a lot faster than flash/java applet/anything else.
Also these days with browsers on far more platforms, you're not guaranteed flash support. (Not to mention it being proprietary/slow/etc)
Focusing on comet though seems like saying "I want to do a web2.0 startup" or "an AJAX startup". They're all just buzzwords with little substance.
Does look like you've got a great system, just need the killer app now :)
Thanks for the feedback, and agreed about /list.
I'm thinking of the best way to present the /list data at the moment, I'd kinda like a hierachial system...
computers -> linux -> #ubuntu
Probably user generated categories, but not sure yet.... ah well, it's on the todo anyway :)
