3Bubbles Integrating Real-Time Chat and Blogs (or Other Websites I Imagine)

http://3Bubbles.com is testing out an easy tool for joining in-progress conversations that can be embedded into any website template...here's a test of copying some text from a conversation I got into where I asked some questions about the tool...

VinceOutlawHello chatters...just followed the link from scripting news...
RobertDHello Vince
j.where the focus is consumers talking to themselves
VinceOutlawHi Robert...any links for more information on this...Dave didn't leave much info...
Drewj: we're open to all possibilities
Drewvince: www.3bubbles.com
RobertDDrew... how many people have registered to receive more information via e-mail? Any statistics yet?
VinceOutlawThanks Drew...there now in another tab...checking the home page...wish I could just post from there...
j.best of luck guys
Drewrobert we had 1500 as of yesterday evening 
j.I will keep an eye on it.
RobertDNice :)
Drewprobably a lot more now
Drewhaven't checked
j.What is the over/under on getting acquired by Blogger or TypePad?
j.3 months?
RobertDYeah, I put my e-mail addy in about an hour ago... So at least 1501 now
j.:)
VinceOutlawIs there some sort of widget I can embed on a blog page to have the conversation scrolling...like this one is on the 3bubbles home page?
Drewyup
Drewit's an iframe
RobertDOh nice, I didn't even notice it's up on the 3Bubbles site
Drewhttp://dittes.info/blog/ example of one way to implement
Drewyeah we have the site up now
VinceOutlawIs there a page that gives myself, a copy/paste king, some easy instructions to do that?
RobertDNice, where do I send my check as an investment? LOL
Drewdittes got into our registration system before he was supposed to 
Drewvince yes
Drewbut it's not public yet
Drewwould love to have it
Drew:D
VinceOutlawIt's a pretty excellent tool so far...how did Scripting get the URL to a particular conversation?
sriIs it possible to make the links clickable?
Drewhe took it off of techcrunch's site
Drewsri: which links are you talking about?
VinceOutlawah...can I put links in...like http://AboutEA.com...testing my own question...
VinceOutlawhttp://AboutEA.com
Drewnot supported yet
VinceOutlawtwo strikes for VO...
RobertDHas this been /.ed yet?
Drewnot to my knowledge
RobertDOr Farked?
Drewwe had a little digg presence
Drewlike 7 diggs
RobertDNice :)
Drewthat was this past weekend before we were live though

I just copied that in and stuck it in a 'pre' tag for easy-ness. It would be cool to be able more easily post parts of the conversation into a blog to sort of archive it...save the knowledge (or whimsy) generated from the conversation...maybe the cool dudes who did this are already onto that...I'm sure there are a lot more interesting requests that this knowledge worker's. Thanks for letting me try it out...I want one for my blog!

OK...I had to try it...I just borrowed the code from http://dittes.info/blog/ to embed a conversation in a webpage...here's the one I was just in...
