So whats goin on misha? you said you were working on it a few months back, is it ever gonna happen?

Does a chat room actually exist, or is it just being worked on?

There currently does exist a completely unused MacNN chat room. It is a chat service thing shared with AppleInsider. I do not know that there is a link to t from the anywhere on the MacNN page, but the "Chat" link in the top right corner of AppleInsider.com leads to the link below. http://www.appleinsider.com/chat.shtml
The page loads a 125k Java applet chat program, and then a thing pops up prompting you for a nick to log in with. The chat window has a "Rooms" button, which brings up a list "AppleInsider","MacNN Chat","Padded Cell." By default you enter AI, but with two clicks you can move to MacNN. The "padded cell" is a place of mystery. It is locked. No one has ever been inside.

So yes, there does exist a chat room. There is never anyone in there, which is not all that surprising, considering how little publicity it has.

Its normally empty, but come every Macworld, there are maybe 4-10 people in there.
Sometimes...
Last time I didn't check, the time before there was about 5, maybe 6...
Drop by whenever theres a Macworld

AOL Instant Messenger seems easier, but I'd like the option to send private messages to other MacNN users. I understand that some users prefer not to display their email address or may not even have an AOL screen name, so how could I contact another member without publicly posting a message?
