As I see it, 3Bubbles simply isn't useful for the vast majority of blogs and bloggers. Sell those AlexaDex shares, people! :) Moritz,

That way you could focus the little chat traffic you have in one central point. Second thing is, that if you want to it really to work out you probably have to be online yourself from time to time.

Really – it makes very little sense to have chat on a blog and the fact that nobody is using it on a popular site such as TechCrunch should give the 3Bubbles people some headaches.

News aggregators are a possibility, too. And even if they're archiving these chats, I wonder about the permalink issues (archived chats will always have a much worse signal-to-noise ratio than blog comments): http://mashable.com/2006/02/12/3bubbles-why-im-skeptical-about-live-chat-on-blogs/ I'm not saying it's a bad idea necessarily, but the long tail of blogs seems to be at odds with live chat (which requires critical mass to be useful).

I wanted to mention that Newsvine also offers a similar tool on their site but it's in flash and embedded directly into the page for each article. I love the idea of enabling viewers to interact with each other! This is a very cool feature!
