2. Ability to set up chat rooms for certain events, rather than using the "Live Thread" concept. The entire idea of a "Live Thread" is somewhat of an oxymoron and EXTREMELY difficult to follow.

What is see as the value of "live threads" is this: They are a permanent (archivable history) record of immediate commentaries and thoughts on the subject of the thread. Chatrooms flows, unless logged, are temporary.
