Yes , Ryan....what you say will work provided all participants are successful traders ( like many successful traders have each other on skypes or yahoo messenger and they just share few lines during the day...that will help in knowing how another successful trader is looking at the markets from his perspective/view.And all the participants need to be of that calibre and knowledge level.
But most new guys will come to chatroom for learning new techniques,good methods,learning how to trade....and it is perfectly fine, we all did that when we were juniors. But methods cannot be explained in chatroom during market hours, we have forum for that.
We had a chatroom in TJ sometime back but experience was so bad that it was closed. There people chitchated ,faught,played group politics,tried to sell tips service subscriptions,talked nonstop nonsense....and not even 20 % was trading related....
But I am in full agreement with you that we have to minimise the bad effects and project good purpose of such chatrooms by moderating that well and self discipline and self regulation......

Well smart trade the first time i learnt techical analysis i thought a became smarter than anybody else and lost even more money then before , then i realised technical trading is all mechanical you cant keep on doing same technical analysis for changing markets. Thats when i relalized psychology is more important in real time trading to anticipate what people will do , a proper chat/tweet based system enhances a traders sense even futher. Its always good to hear other peoples opinion that y we have forums, according to me its even better when combined in a live enivironment, i am not saying i will waste time and trading opportunity to tell people about my trading thoughts but just make them aware in realtime if there were any pits ahead , like a major support or resistance ahead. analysis realttime even if its 3 times a day is good enough , anyways if you cant offer anything special people will not follow , if you are just an entertainer , people who seek entertainmen will follow not real traders .
So the basic point is if real traders follow real traders then automatically numbers will add , this what i am talking about is not a gyan distrubuting service to newbees ... its something professionals will learn from other professionals who have different setups and different timeframes, the new people who want to be profssionals should also be welcomed no harm in that
