FireChat, and it's use by Hong Kong protesters, is very much in the news.
For instance there is a New York Times Story today -
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/technology/hong-kong-protests-propel-a-phone-to-phone-app-.html
. There is some confusion over how the app actually works, so today makers
Open Garden have published what amounts to a FAQ - 'FireChat - what it is
and what it is not'  at
http://opengardening.tumblr.com/post/99296368130/firechat .

At 6am EDT | 10am UTC - about 30 mins from now - Open Garden CEO Micha
Benoliel will go live with our Hong Kong Chapter to further elucidate.
