    There are too many spammers but also impersonators - Twitter is not doing enough - I can't get any response from Twitter so here I publish - (Hoping to get to Twitter through Mashable):

    Dear Twitter - @inspectorsarit is a phony personality tweeting & distributing slander about me. As a well known Lawyer in Israel & member of the world wide known Olmert family I here and now demand that you check up this phony impersonator and block it immediately. I will not aply another time and next time you will have to meet Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom !!! Sory but ignoring my apply pushed me to take this step. Tnx

    This is great! Any way to find the archive? I know I can't make it for the live feed.

    Awesome...count me in. Will be really interesting to see a twitter chat organized on a 3rd party platform that was created for the specific chat. Usually everyone turns to tweetchat or tweetgrid...which honestly leaves a lot to be desired. With live video this should make for a really cool interview.

    Keep up the great work Mashable.

    I was the unlucky one whose browser went crazy and started to open tabs non-stop >> http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9140/tabsj.jpg
    I'd appreciate if you guys could fix it, whatever it is..or tell me if the problem is my browser...so the next time I won't use opera :)

    that's cool :D congratssssss but I think it would be netter to create a sub-domain for it instead of including it inside mashable.com/chat

    I've enjoyed the Mashable Lounge during the test runs. I am sure that tonight's chat session will be extremely lively and entertaining. I'm looking forward to it!

    Just taking a look around. Is there a light switch?

    Is there a light switch in here? What about seating arrangements?

    Won't let you login once you get so many users.

    The Mashable Lounge would be perfect to hold Journchat, Editorchat, Blogchat, and Designchat in. Whenever a chat starts to trend on Twitter, such as Journchat, the spammers start spewing nonsense all over the chat on Twitter. Since Mashable Lounge is a Tinychat, spammers can be kicked out of the discussion or even better yet, banned for good.

    We need to contact @PRSarahEvans, @MileHighFool, @LydiaBreakfast, @MackCollier (I can't seem to remember who hosts Designchat, it's 310am here in Virginia right now), because I think all the major Twitter chats should be moved IMMEDIATELY to Mashable Lounge.

    I, for one, am sick to death of spammers. I've been spammed nearly to death during two Journchats. It's high time the spammers learned we're not going to tolerate their junk in our Twitter chats while we enjoy intelligent conversations.

    I can hardly wait til we all have a nice long chat about journos in the Mashable Lounge. I am SO FASCINATED by journos and journalism!! I love to read Blogchat, Editorchat and Designchat too! We really need to have them right here in the Mashable Lounge!!

    What say you?

    Yup - Sarah Evans is already on board. Happy to host the other popular chats you mention, too.

    Thanks for thinking of Editorchat for this. Lydia and I will talk it over but it seems like a killer option. One more reason I'm a Mashable fan.

    Thanks for mentioning DesignChat for this also. We're working on getting it ready for tomorrow's (June 24th) discussion with @abduzeedo. Hope to see you there.

    Was good, watched last night. I watched it from the couch like a TV show, so an option for full screen video would have been good.

    This is a great article. I’m new to blogging but still learning. Thanks for the great resource.
