Chat Progress

January 25, 1999

I want to thank John Suler for organizing BOL's first chat which took place yesterday. John gathered an interesting group together to discuss "CHAT AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CYBERSPACE" and conducted the discussion with skill and tact. By my count about twenty people attended. The discussion was interesting and the chat environment was stable. For the latter, I also want to thank John Grohol who went to great pains to build and maintain the chat room. The results of our experiment are encouraging. We have taken the first step toward what I hope and believe will become a regular feature at BOL.
