You are suggesting feature improvements to SnipSnap

Yes, this is the SnipSnap site isn't it? I think it should be used to discuss SnipSnap, posting suggestions etc. all to improve SnipSnap.

I was talking about improving the general experience of browsing on any site whatsoever

Ok, such software you are describing which makes it possible to talk to others visiting the same site/page using the same plugin or application as you exists. I remember testing such software allready back in 1999.

Here are some clients:
http://www.peopleonpage.com
http://www.odigo.org - ( http://www.odigo.org/40/help/help.html )
http://www.togetherweb.com

The problem back in 1999 and even today in 2003 I think is that you have to visit some of the larger sites to find someone to talk to which have the same client installed.

So I think a standard is needed and implemented into all major web browsers before this would as you say "improve the general experience of browsing"

I think such systems hasn't been a hit because

1. Many people mislike that others can see which sites/pages they are visiting
2. On smaller sites you have to be lucky to find someone else with the same client
3. Need clients working on every os/browser

Ofcourse such idea could be a success on single sites such as SnipSnap sites if it had been an integrated part of SnipSnap.

But if you want to make something better and get the whole world to use it good luck to you :)
