New chat feature?

[mtrawls]

Hrm ... I realize there are a lot of things that mitigate the potential use of the system, though I still think it could be useful. I didn't realize about the past failed attempt (I searched for a little bit, but apparently either there is no discussion of it, the search isn't all that good, or more likely I can't search). I do question, though, how integrated it was in the site, -- and if it was a feature like the CB on perlmonks which is tightly integrated, unobstrusive but visible on every page, what the demand would be.
