Should I make this a permanent service?

Considering your volume of readers - it could be useful. People will still post their comments but a place to discuss live would be good.
It looks nice, but I'm not sure if I like the fact that people joining after I have left can still read what I wrote. What I wrote might have been dedicated to the people in the chat at that time and not to every RSS-feed subscriber in the future.
No.
Opera not supported.
Ich erinnere mich, dass die Begeisterung neulich über Chatfunktionen in Blogs recht dünn war - um nicht zu sagen, ablehnend aus guten Gründen: Siehe hier. Verfolge da auch die Kommentare in Michael Arringtons Beitrag über 3Bubbles.
Useless...
...people will not post their comments any more.
I would want to see that somewhat integrated though. Chat plus comments is too much, I guess people would skip one, either only chat or only comment. Why not include the chat in the comments section? The content of the comments is already chat-like in some instances. The thing loads way too slow in my browser though (Firefow 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP on a Stinkpad T40 with 1GB RAM).
First off I thought - wow great - now theres a useful feature.
Then some thought and reading other readers comments - and maybe not so good. Would perhaps make people less likely to post comments and instead "hang around" on the live chat element. Would perhaps add an overhead for yourself for the need to respond/monitor live chat.
I'm also not sure whether it fits in with how a blog works - especially when you take into account the comment from Henning Stoerk.
I do like the concept though - and it will work for some sites - I need to think when and where as I may use it.
The format is useless in Omniweb with site-specific features turned on. In Safari it looks unMacishly sad. I would not use it, anyway, as I love to red the comments as is. Just my grains of sand.
