maybe remove the requirement to be registered before seeing the chats? I just clicked in to see the France/Honduras chat, but I can't see any activity. I'm much more likely to sign up and participate if I think I'm signing up for something that's more active.

and that brings us to the crux of the issue...... there was no one chatting in there.

we've built a great app, with gamification elements (eg check out the badges on my user profile http://www.LiveWorldCupChat.com/Dean.Collins ), we have the ability to email friends, send out facebook and twitter links etc.....and no one is using it......

We've had over 5,000 people sign up for the various http://www.LiveFanChat.com sites but just unsure how to get it to progress.

eg check out these logs of hits in the first 20 mins of the USA v Ghana game......but not a single new user
