OzBargain Chat Room?

Does anyone think it would be good for OzBargain to have a chat room where you could come in and ask questions if you're too lazy to do research?

What benefit would this give over the pre-existing forum + commenting systems, exactly?

  Sometimes a response is not immediate in the forums.
  
  jv would love it. :)

    I agree, in this case you need to be told immediately that you're lazy…

I think it would pull away responses that are more permanent. If there is any relevant info, it would detract from using OzB as a resource.

Great Idea!

Also i think ozbargain personals should be added.

Same thing has been asked almost 2 years ago, and Chatroulette was suggested. Maybe not :)

An IRC channel might be doable.

IRC sounds like hard work. I have a hard enough time logging in some days.

How about something based around this?

I've seen some sites use this: https://www.mibbit.com/ before, it seemed ok and easy enough to use, but I'm not sure if it can be configured to use our actual OzB usernames (possible, but I don't know anything about how mibbit itself works, so maybe not).
