I dunno might be a good idea, any buddy's you've added would show just like any other social networking site

We already have SILC, and i dont feel like a Java or other markup would be safe enough for the average user to be implemented sitewide  :-\

And it would use a tremendous amount of bandwidth.

SR needs to be as lightweight as possible since tor connections are the bottleneck. This wouldn't be a good idea since it would increase load on the server and cause all sorts of problems establishing extra connections through tor from many users. I think the silc chat is fit for this purpose and is also separate, meaning if the site is down people can get somewhere else to communicate.
