Here's my thoughts:

A network of shoutboxes can be linked together and if
somebody posts on a shoutbox on one particular site,
the admin, or the poster, can choose to post it on the
world wide shout.

Pros:
* Lots of ppl will want to be a part of this vast
experiment
* It will be like a chatroom across a network of sites
* It could be a donation generating feature... people
who pay can connect to the service... ?

Cons:
* Bandwidth will be huge if there is a central server.
* Why not just use a chatroom? It's pretty pointless
from this angle

I would like to hear thoughts on this concept
