I don't mean to sound negative but doesn't someone try this (browser-extension-based-multi-website-chat) every 2 years or so and the problem is they never gain enough traction, so basically every room is empty? what makes this one different?

We are going to work with more community managers to help us push the usage - this implementation is useful for these guys who manage groups, who can't / won't implement chat solutions on sites.

I think some of the solutions that came before get taken over by trolls / spammers, so we're going with the oAuth approach, which we believe provides better content/conversation.

The empty room issue is still going to be a big one, we hope features like "trending" and that combination with push from community managers, can help resolve that issue.

We're going to try this again!
