I asked about having a chat room setup for Galt's Gulch. This is the reply I received:
"Thanks for the note Michael. We've considered it, and chat does have a place (e.g. live video events), but the Gulch is designed to permit people with different schedules to interact when time permits. Chat rooms on the other hand require everyone to be available at the same time. We'll continue to employ chat when appropriate but will not be integrating it as an everyday function. "

    Well, if people really want to chat realtime, they can do so via IRC. It doesn't require everyone to be available at the same time any more than the gulch does.

    Just enter your name, enter the channel ##galtsgulchonline and viola, live chat.

    I already created and registered the channel :)
