Feature rooms with active chats on homepage #46

If you are trying to play up the "come chat with random people on the
internet" thing (which is not necessarily the right direction, but...) On
the home page, you should highlight links which have people in them
actively chatting, so people on the homepage can see that there is actually
something going on on that page right at this moment.  

Right now, any chat which has lively discussion probably will bubble up
pretty high, but actively messaging that a ongoing conversation is
happening gives users a different and additional reason as to why they
might want to click the link.

Similarly, you might want to create a "someone's here" or "3 people here"
icon (presumably same one used on homepage), so when you are browsing
through any list of links on the site (ex. your own profile), you will
immediately notice which pages have the possibility for live chat.

Yes - a "Someone's here" icon should go in each of the views that show lists of 
links.
