Looks interesting, I checked out a couple but didn't see much in the way of response. Probably a chicken/egg issue. Nobody to chat with yet, so no reason to stay and chat, etc.
yeah, I found an existing chat and responded. I waited a minute and didn't see a reply so I moved on. Maybe I'm just impatient. If the intent is for not all chats to be realtime, maybe something to remind folks to check back may help until you hit critical mass. If not, maybe some kind of indication that the other party is present and waiting for a response.
