Can you have attendees in GoToWebinar talk or text "chat" to each other during a live 500 attendee event?? If you can't - PLEASE - change it so they can. It is terrible that there is no way to ha...
I agree this is a needed feature. At least a single group chatroom anyway. (A 1000 attendee dropdown list for private chat would be cumbersome!)

Requires a dedicated Tweeter/organizer for large webinars.
