Xfire (http://www.xfire.com/) run a honking great chat system for gamers, with several million sign-ups and upwards of a million regular users.
Next week they're running a virtual SF convention (or "Sci-Fi Week" to use their quaint gamer argot), with Q&A chat sessions with SF authors, including Yours Truly.
Details here (http://www.xfire.com/cms/xf_scifi_week/) — I'm on with fellow Hugo nominees Peter Watts and Vernor Vinge, plus artist Michael Whelan. The chat session begins at 9pm, UK time (1pm PDT / 4pm EDT).
