I never really saw the appeal of chat rooms. I was watching Jason Calacanis run a podcast on his site with with a chat running below. You had to register at UStream.tv to get into the chat. My normal sign-in there wasn’t working, so I created an alias.
With that alias I was able to get in to the chat. Near the end, Jason was so absorbed in reading the chat, or his feed, or conducting business, that he just sat there, humming to himself. I asked him to sing something. Some of the other chatters became a touch nasty, making Chris Pirillo remarks.
So, though Jason can be interesting when part of a discussion, as on TWiT, I don’t think I will go back to the Jason Nation anytime soon to watch him Plog.
