Random thought: Imagine if you could see comments on sites like HN being typed live (and the effects that would have on discussion).

Reminds of ICQ group chats back in the day.

Fun days.

EDIT: better dummy conversation

It would probably be a huge security risk just to visit the demo page if people weren't constantly pasting over each other with "MY PENIS" in HTML/CSS/JS
