You will also not find me on IRC. I prefer asynchronous conversations (mail, forum, Usenet). You pointed it out yourself. Chat content is not meant to stay. But I want to publish content which resides on the web. Yesterday I read a nice lengthy article about Hoodwink. It's like a new community layer thrown over the existing web. That sounded interesting and pretty geeky too :-) "Hoodwink brings it another large step towards a great big wiki, where any participant can scribble a comment somewhere for all to see, whether supported by the site host or not.

Andy, maybe a trial session limited to 15 people, where you field questions on link building? We would have to have a moderator, or something else to follow what Raj has said, but in either case it should be a good test to see if this can work. thanks for the heads up, drolight.

When that person finishes, they pass the object on to the next person that has indicated that they want to speak. Unfortunately, this works best when participants can see each other. And if you've ever seen the goings in any political house, you know that human beings cannot refrain from interrupting each other, especially in this past decade more than I've ever seen before. I shudder to think what online group chat must be like without visuals :& Now of course I'm referring only to voice-based group chat. But then, I haven't tried it out yet, so maybe I'm wrong I think that the only way a group chat would not descend into unruliness is if everyone involved was familiar with “Robert’s Rules of Order”, a parliamentary practice which gives each person in possession of some symbolic object the opportunity to speak without being interrupted.

Hmm is anyone interested in this?

I may agree with Chris that time-shifted solutions are better…

I think we are only at the beginning of this stuff. It's clear there is a need for discussion and community, but also articles and diary posts, what we have now is bound to evolve in many ways. Personally I prefer the time shifted stuff like forums, but I do remember real time chat being fun. Not sure how well I would do on one of those voice-chat things as conference calls often leave me waiting for a gap to say my piece or talking over someone.
