On: Show HN: Hacker News Talk, a Chrome extension for real-time commentary

That's cool. I find the real-time typing quite annoying, mostly because if two or more people talk at the same time, messages that aren't completed yet get pushed to the bottom. I think it might get really messy if a lot of people start using it.

The nicest thing in my opinion is that every article get it's own chatroom, so that people can talk about a single argument (and can post things that aren't maybe worth a full comment).

Is a Firefox version under development?

Good points... every comment thread gets its own room too, like yours above:

The reasoning behind the streaming text and auto-submits is to keep the conversation ephemeral, in the moment, more like talking than texting.
