The bonus is the same as IRC, however with the added bonus of not having to go out of their way.

It would make Real Time Chat much more accessable, without having to download or install an IM client [size=9px](not all members like the same IM services)[/size] and There is a history feature included, which --like much of the entire tool-- can be completely customized.

It's something that we could add and maintain --I believe-- without too many headaches. I think it warrents looking into further at this point.

But first, is there interest in this?
