New way to discuss blog posts? Options

[mond_]

Hello everybody,

I would like to get your opinion on my new idea. I guess most of you are running a blog.

Imagine you write a blog post about for example Zune. The title would be “Microsoft’s new mp3 player – Zune”. Under this blog post, you usually have links like “Digg this”, “Bookmark this at del.icio.us”, “Add Comment” or “Sphere It”. Now, imagine you have there another link saying, “Discuss this” or “Chat about this live”. This link will pop up a new window with chat from [link removed]. This chat will automatically create a chat room with the name of your blog post the first time somebody clicks the link. All users will go directly to that room and chat about your blog post.

Since [content removed] is cross-site chat, anybody chatting in [content removed] on any other site can search for tags and easily find your blog post room and join it and chat with others.

The whole point is giving your blog readers the option to discuss your blog post and allow other people interested in that topic to join them in discussion. The details on how it is done by plugins are not important at the moment. I want to find out what do you think about the idea.

What do you think about this idea as a blog owner? What do you think about it as a blog reader?

Thanks for your replies.
