Meta Question

Do you think if we set a specific time for a weekly chat session, other Jellies might be more inclined to chat?

Asked by diavolobella (7930points) December 23rd, 2010

I ask because a fitness forum I participate on has a regular Friday night chat and it’s quite popular. If there was a set time when you knew a lot of your Jelly friends would be available to chat, would you be more inclined to use the chat feature?

Oooooh, I like that idea. I always forget there’s a chat and only popped in this morning because it was mentioned on another question.

Definitely. I would officially request only our usernames be used when addressing each other – I’m still trying to figure out who Kevin is =/

Blueroses's avatar

I’d like that. Maybe different groups like Fluther Singles meet on Thursdays… Wine party Wednesdays…

@FutureMemory

Sarcasm = Kevin.. And just ask, everyone does it.

FutureMemory's avatar

@world_hello I actually knew that. I was trying to prove a point.

Yes, I would chat a lot more that way.

I think part of the problem is “someone has to be the first.” People just look and see it is dead and bail. If they left it open in a new tab the audio alert would let them know someone entered. Then it would grow as people saw that it was active.

It needs seeds.

I’d probably pop in if there were a regular chat. I still probably wouldn’t stay long, since it’s too much going on at once for me to stay sane.

This is good. Maybe we can agree on a trial chat night that is convenient for the majority of us and give it a whirl?

seazen's avatar

Sure. Time difference.

diavolobella's avatar

I know. The time difference is always going to be an issue, but we could at least poll those responding to this question and see if we can find a time that most of us could make it. No reason there can’t be several different chat times scheduled either. Euro Jelly Chat, North America Jelly Chat. LOL

I’m 7 hours ahead of Eastern US. It’s my early morning when you’re here partying drunk.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@seazen We’d set an extra time just to talk to you, Zen.

Blueroses's avatar

I’d come to ZenChat! even if I had to set my alarm

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@Blueroses Well, it’d be the sexy one, so you’d have to be there.

seazen's avatar

Thank you for that.

It’s 7 am by the way.
