This is really awesome. I just hacked together something similar for my website yesterday to show me guests / users activity on the site. Can't wait till you guys open it up, especially if there's an API to stream it on our own dashboards.

One note: after I filled out my info and clicked submit it kept the "what are you looking for" field on the page.

Another note: I included the referrer which I think is going to be pretty useful to know.

Heh, I noticed that problem from watching the stream.

I thought it may be nice to keep it there, so people can fill it in if they left it blank, or maybe edit it.

Turns out, people don't expect it to be there, and I saw several people hitting "Send" multiple times to (I assume) get rid of that box. :)

Yeah it feels counter-intuitive.

Really like what you're doing, can't wait to replace my dodgy little hack job!
