To say that this project is awesome is a HUGE understatement. We are currently using it in our upcoming CMS (<a href="http://www.gethifi.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.gethifi.com</a>) as an in-browser text editor. It looks and behaves great:

At first I have to admit I didn't quite get the point of Bespin, but I've realized its incredible power as I've come to appreciate the web as a viable platform for most applications. I will probably use it when I transition one of my current projects to the web, and look forward to seeing what others do with it. I have only one complaint so far: alt+left/right is used to move by words instead of the more common ctrl+left/right.<p>[This comment was edited with Bespin bookmarklet]
Idea for it that me and a friend had: often times when new users need help in IRC they paste some code, and make some changes, and repaste etc to show what their issue is. The idea is to write a plugin for editors that, at a click of a button, live streams the content to bespin^Wskywriter and they can just link the "view into the editor" to IRC so people can see the code in a real time way. Then when they're done they can kill the "view".
