@Blogberd , you are right. Dont understand why I was downvoted. Thought this was for discussions, and I was not asking a stupid question either.– Sujay GhoshApr 15, 2011 at 10:19

You can chat right now. Just click "chat". Rooms can be topic based, site based, or whatever you want as long as they are broadly on-topic (related in some way to the site), and is reasonably behaved.

You are right. But for that users need to be online. I am looking for a networking model , through which user can connect to each other on SO. Apr 15, 2011 at 9:29

There is x number of existing sites that provide this should two SO users want to connect this way.– PekkaApr 15, 2011 at 9:33
