I was looking at the various extensions available for Firefox and noticed an interesting little program called Pekkochat. What this program will do for people using Firefox as their internet browser is let you connect to an IRC server, then see who else is browsing the same web page if they are also using Pekkochat. If you see multiple people, you can then go to the chat room and have a keyboard to keyboard chat session.

Not sure if this is something anyone else has tried, but I thought I would mention it just in case. Could be an interesting way for an impromptu chat session on the board.
