Concur with Stan's reasoning. Chat clients are interesting, of course, but having that "cooling off" period that comes from composing a PM or even refreshing posts can be worthwhile. Also, some places specifically block chat clients. Adding one here might unintentionally limit access.

I agree with Stan, though I think chat functionality could be useful for virtual meetings, conferences and the like. In other words, chat (or even voice comms) could be great for for virtual events but as a 24/7 function I think it's counterproductive. I know that I wouldn't participate unless it was for an event or some other explicit purpose.

I worry the whole thing would unmask me not as the Canadian academic you think I am, but rather as a lesbian Syrian blogger.

Rex,
Having met you, broke bread together, and several beers later... you are a perfect example of a normal male
If you want to blend in, take the bus
Stan,
SWC needs evidence, some photos maybe; yes I know nowadays these can be "doctored".
On the main theme, I do not use chat rooms and would refrain from a vote.

I am not
Syrian, nor a blogger, but I am a lesbian…albeit presently trapped in a man’s body.
