Comments are cool and important to a blog. This should be an add-on, not an alternative to comments. I like the combination.

I've used IM for customer support before, and you always end up copying and pasting the conversation into an e-mail to save it. Worse, you forget to do that and then log off. Plus, you kinda have to both be there to carry on the conversation, whereas with e-mail you can converse with the other party absent and they can reply whenever. And I agree about persistence and link-love: both good things that chat just doesn't do. It’s cute, but as you said not very useful.

Thanks. I'm not sure I care for mobber and its ilk as an "alternative to comments" because comments add value to this blog and to the person leaving them (since we don't use rel=nofollow). The comments in a chat are more like using an IM client to me. That's not saying having a chatroom or IM connected to a blog is a bad thing, heck, we have an IRC channel for one of our sites (not a blog) but the people who come along after the fact and ask questions that have already been answered in chat won't benefit from this the same way as those who leave comments like you did.

Personally I love comments because you can go back at any time and see what people said. I assume with this chat thing there isn't any persistence. Guess sometimes that's a good thing.
