Very cool, I'm tempted to lurk in one of these rooms all day.
It'd be very cool if the chat rooms also displayed an auto-updating list of related questions to the side. For example, if you're sitting in the Ruby room and someone posts a question to StackOverflow with the `ruby` tag, a link to the question would appear in in this list.
Another cool idea would be a way for people to turn their chat questions into real questions on StackOverflow. Obviously copying and pasting works just fine, but I think a built-in feature could improve upon it. And it might be a way to give people reputation for helping others via chat.
The creator of the room can set various feeds which show up as comments in the room. You can do exactly the thing you describe by clicking the Ruby tag, grabbing the RSS feed and selecting it as a feed for the room.
