PlayUp’s idea is chat rooms where you and your friends — or even you and strangers — can text-chat-discuss a game as it’s going on. It’s something you can easily do now with any IRC room or Google Hangout, but where PlayUp stands out is that they know every single game that’s going on in many sports, from soccer to football to baseball, to ridiculous ones like Australian football and cricket. (And I mean ridiculous in the most endearing way possible.)
Once you log in, either through Facebook or their proprietary account, just join an existing room or make your own, then get to chatting about New Zealand is totally going to beat France in the Rugby World Cup finals.
