This look awesome and I can't wait to try it out. Hell, I think we'd even use it in our office (a large open room with 8+ people working, meaning we are all often wearing headphones to stay focused).
Feature suggestion: Have an "away" feature. I hit a button to say I'm going away, type a message (brb, out for lunch, etc), and that's what is displayed in my window while I'm gone. Adding a time stamp + optional field for when you'll be back would be nifty as well. This feature could just be an extension of "privacy mode" as well.
nice, glad you like the idea. We are actually trying to build the product for teams which work together in a physical office as well, definitely some benefits there :)
Regarding away status, in the future Sqwiggle will automatically know when you are away or at your computer by monitoring input... good point about the status message though.. I bet there's a cool way to work that in ;)
