I like it! I was initially disappointed, like others, that it was only going to indicate whether Guido was typing or not, rather than let us see his text - but then I went online and had a look at it, and initially got a grey-on-white screen telling me that he wasn't typing, which changed all of a sudden to a white-on-green screen saying that he was, and then it switched back and forth between the two screens several times in quick succession, which was oddly exciting and also oddly physical, as if you could hear him breathing. It's very elegant, in a way that it wouldn't be if you could see the text; and also the sense that somebody is there one minute, palpable, and that you've lost contact with them the next, is more visceral than I expected.

I also love Bjorn's response, which completely boggled my mind.
