ichat PostIts

or how I always seem to come up with good ideas for other companies

I really really want these - Post It notes that look like ichat. They'd be so useful for commenting on paper documents, having a conversation on a whiteboard or noticeboard (or on the office kitchen fridge).

I'd also like status indicator Post Its for my office - they'd let people know if I was on holiday.

They could just print lots of bubbles in different colours with blanks to fill for the avatar - which you print youself on sheets of square precut stickers. These could also be used on charts showing if you're in the office, etc.

Yes, I've been having a lot of fun with my new Stanley knife and Scotch Up repositionable glue. And my avatar cartoon cat is Ray from Achewood.

You're door Post Its remind me of the "Smart Doors" concept in Shneiderman's "Leonardo's Laptop". He envisioned a networked display mounted in the door that the office occupant could update with messages just like yours.
