I downloaded the Excite Chat software - a 2.1mB download! Their screen is very cluttered and, although I was able to create a private room, I don't know how to get anybody into it. I think, though, if a private room was created with a standard name, then anyone could enter it by clicking on the Private Room icon and entering the standard room name. I checked out some of the public rooms and got quite a shock! Although none of them had names implying anything about adult conversation, three in a row had pretty explicit discussions going on. Only one was voice enabled, but the sound quality seemed pretty good (and, no, it wasn't all 'oohs' and 'ahhhs' - lol).

Probably a few of us need to try it out at the same time and see what we can do. One thing I noticed about public rooms is that there seems to be a limit of 25 persons, then another room with the same subject is started. However, when you click on a crowded room name you're taken to the full room first, then get a dialog box asking if you want to just observe or go to the other room. Confusing, a little...
