The problem with the chat room is that it's immediate. You have to be in it and contribute to it in real time. It would work for something like a game time chat but when it's just random thoughts, not so much because a lot of the time people aren't contributing to it instantly even though it might seem like that due to it's popularity.
I might be wrong about this but when you join the chat room, you're starting from a blank slate when it comes to the discussion. You lose a lot of the context of what has been said. As well, I suspect the chat room doesn't work very well when you're using a mobile device.
