#3Is it me or do I see a "add a live chat room to every website!" startup/idea every 6 months, either by apps, HTML framesets, whatever, then followed by press saying it will change the world/internet/whatever, then I never hear about it again. Perhaps nobody actually wants an anonymous chat room on every site :P

#8If a large % of Facebook users used this, it would quickly become unusable on the site.
Any ideas about handling large usage - separate people out into smaller manageable groups by IP/geo/other?

Correct, you only start listening once you get there. This is intended to be more of a flash-mob style application, rather than a reliable communication application
