You know, I never actually thought about the possibility of the wire being an actual chatroom. Personally, I would LOVE it if it were true. Of course, forum usage would probably die down, don't you think?
Of course, I think that if it were a chat room...some of these threads that are not exactly "thread worthy" would be gone due to being able to pop into the chat room and ask whatever you need to ask. Instant gratification. We all know, however, that instant gratifications isn't always the best thing...
It could be a doubel edged sword I suppose.
