This is really cool. I wonder if chat like this would work for a dating platform. The live typing seemed more intimate to me.

  My social anxiety went through the roof and I had to leave the chat after the first message. Seems a nice feature for extroverts though.

    Yeah, between my horrific spelling and constant pauses to collect my thoughts or check on other things, this would be difficult to use. Back when I would dial into BBSs I didn't have 20+ other programs running or a browser with 50+ tabs open. It was a very different experience that doesn't translate well to a modern world with a million things demanding our attention.

      They can demand all they want. Where you give your focus is up to you though.

  I believe ICQ used to have this (at least as an option). It never really made the leap to other IM platforms; people didn't like it.
