Actually Jon I was thinking the same thing yesterday...(trying to think of ways to improve SI)...

What if SI offered live chat like AOL or ICQ. Real-time chat will add stickiness to SI. Right now we all get on, review posts, perhaps post a message, but then we go to other parts of SI or the net to do other things...

Imagine having a sidebar window that keeps you connected to ongoing chat. While you are using SI to retrieve specific investment info, news, etc... your chat Go2Net&Chat window could be displaying comments by your favorite SI or PlaySite members (AOL has the buddy concept...Go2Net's could have that capability too......Actually that is a twist from AOL's chat rooms...the Go2Net&Chat would allow one to select whom they'd like to chat with.

Its late and I'm rambling on..so I'll stop...but I hope you get the point...

What do you think...would anyone find the ability to discuss our favorite stock(s) realtime beneficial? Perhaps Jeff Dyers' brother ought to build something like this as a test with SI...and then GNET can incorporate the technology in its other sites....

Happy Investing

Steve
