URL chatting is helpful as people on the same page can exchange insights about their current activity (explaining, understanding), what better than ask a person a question who is on the same website as you. You interest matching basically achieves the same thing, but across websites, you are bringing people together, based on what they are doing right now...that's amazing. This is something Cha Cha should of got into, being a presence on the web to assist people from where they currently are. Once you register, whenever you browse their would be a Cha Cha overlay or toolbar, any time you want to ask a question there would be someone to ask. Right now they are only offering help at stage one, from their website, whereas they could be on all websites ready to answer questions Jordan,

Thank you for the mention! I would like to point out that Others Online isn't doing URL-based matching at all, for the reasons you point out. We're using semantic-driven matching so that users see each other across Web sites based on what the page is about. Quick example/explanation: Let's say I'm checking ski conditions at Breckenridge. It doesn't matter whether you've just googled "ski conditions, breckenridge", are at the Breckenridge web site, or reading a related blog post -- we figure out what you care about and show you people relevant to "ski conditions, breckenridge, skiing, etc.". They could be on the same site, or any other site about ski conditions at Breckenridge, or simply recently blogged about it. And we do favor showing people who are online now (to chat with, if you wish). Unlike me.dium, we don't display what page/URL anyone is on -- just the things you have in common (activities, topics, people, interests, etc.). Hi John, Jordan here from Others Online.

You pretty well nailed what we're up to. We believe that everything is more fun when your friends are around so why should being online be any different? Anyhow, we're always looking for ideas and feedback and we'd love to hear your thoughts. You can drop us suggestions at our Get Satisfaction site (http://getsatisfaction.com/medium) or friend me in Me.dium if you'd like. Thanks again.
