OK so I really don't want to get in a big discussion about Google Plus here, I'm just wondering if anyone's on it so we can all add each other and chat there next time there's a live DIF rather than using the horrible TinyChat.
Alternately if you want an invite or whatever you can post or DM me and I'll send…but the system's pretty capricious about who it lets in and not.
Ooh, great idea! TinyChat does get annoying after a while. doctorsubmarine@hotmail.com, friend.
Uh, can we, say, talk about this?

Just cause I don't want to get into a big discussion doesn't mean you can't. Go for it.
How would this work, what are the upsides, what are the downsides, what is the implementation on our end, etc.. I do not want multiple chat rooms happening for one broadcast.
He wants to be able to talk about you behind your back during the recordings, Teague

Obviously it wouldn't be great for the 'official' chat—IRC would be better for that—but I always have multiple chats running during DIF.
If you guys are unhappy with the official chats, tell me why and what could be better and we'll try to find a solution.
To be clear, this isn't about hating on DIF chat (which sucks and needs to die), it's about finding new ways to connect with the DIF community.

A. No, we built the whole "live" portal manually to combine Tinychat and Justin.tv. B. What big problem?
I have the invites if you need them, but think this is a bad idea and won't be participating in broadcasts outside of standard channels.

The main problem with TinyChat (which this thread isn't about) is that it's a tiny little box that can't be popped out, moved, resized, or used on anything but my main PC. To say that my setup when trying to watch the video, play the movie, participate in chat, look up stuff online, and still do regular social media stuff is convoluted would be kind at best.
Again this thread isn't supposed to be about the DIF chat. I mainly meant that it would be nice to be able to talk to some of the DIFers, and also during live shows, without cluttering up the TinyChat with off-topic stuff.

Post retracted. I didn't know what I was talking about. I really shouldn't post things for people to read when I don't.
The whole live chat system is great the way it is, and I truly mean that.
Also, I've used Google+ for all of five minutes now, and I think I'm going to sit on my account until it goes public.

But only because I want to see what the big deal is all about. I barely have time to get into the live broadcasts these days anyways.
Schweet, I'm on google+! Now I have no idea what to do with it...
From what I've seen so far, you post things and people see them. So far, it has one glorious feature that Facebook and Twitter don't: It's douchebag-free!
EDIT: Oh, and I can group people together and such. I have a Down in Front group. So far it's the only one with people in it.

I like that you can have not just Circles, but Venn Diagrams. So while Teague, Dorkman, and Brian are all in "Down In Front", I can have Teague and Brian also in "Online Besties", and just Teague in "Real Life Besties".
Teague's also in his own Circle.
It's called "Super Awesome People".
No, you can't have in.
That's funny. I made Teague his own circle as well.
It's called "God Damn It".
Sycophants!
*quietly creates groups*
Hey, mine isn't sycophantic at all!
*mumbles*
It's "People with Red Hair".
Sycophants!
It's not sycophantic if you've known a guy for ten years.
Then it's just gay.
