Would you like an "official" DU real time chat room?

[helderheid]

I happen to love chatting real time, but I also love DU's current format. I am just wondering what you'd think of having a real time chat room (especially for events such as elections, state of the union addresses, etc., etc) as opposed to just the forum format. What say all y'all?

4. I agree....

Do you want me to EVER leave the house?
Chat in real time with Nance or babylonsister or proud or kpete or hissyspit or catwoman?
Are you nuts?

:hi:

3. Problem I have with the FB app is...

real names and personal details.

People include a lot of "real life" details on Facebook including real name, close friends, family, employers, etc.

I don't like that so widely exposed.

5. that is why I'd like one here

6. We used to have on on AIM..no real names needed

8. You have so many other places to go these days...why do this Post?

:shrug: Makes no sense. I know you are there over at "Second Life" and then IM'ing your buddies and flitting here and there...yet you come out and give choices which aren't really choices to other DU'ers.

???

And then they would repeat over and over a few hundred times.
