Hi,
All, next week we will be trialling a game day chat. The thread will still be active like normal but we will be trying a live "shoutbox" style chat which refreshes every 5 seconds.
Each post will be limited in length looking at 300 at the moment, but wondering if amore twitter style 160 would be better and add another element.
I am not looking at having this open constantly, just a little prior to the game and then once the game is finished i will close it off a little bit after.
I am then hoping to look at importing the entire chat into a forum post for archive purposes.
Let me know your thoughts. I would love to see how this is adopted. Bearing in mind that the lack of clicks on the website into and out of threads costs us in terms of advertising revenue but perhaps I will put an auto refresh on the page every 60 seconds or so, or hope that people still click in and out of threads as well.
Would love your thoughts on this.
Dan
