I don't really track the CB, I seem to have enough other things asking for my attention these days. That said, I keep a browser open to the Monastery (Newest Nodes page) and position my other work so I can see it at a glance (large screens are so very nice). I get the general drift of the Chatter, which is usually all that I need.
Occasionally, if a topic/thread appears that looks interesting, I will refer to the 'last hour of cb' and back-track. Even more occasionally I will send a private message to one of the Chatterers suggestion that the topic would be a excellent idea for either a SOPW or a Meditation.

I appreciate your feedback and sentiment, Old_Gray_Bear, I'm thinking something a bit more convenient maybe.
I'm not putting down the way it's done now, but perhaps status-quo isn't good enough. I think PerlMonks needs a new way of notification and interaction. If not for me (because I may never use it), but for the longevity of PM itself.
Do we have a cost assessment team here, or do we just provide pmdev with complaints and suggestions? Maybe a discussion could be had with a plan, and we could do a round of financing for specific enhancements...?
Update: s/financing/donations/; Perlmonks should always remain Perlmonks, with the gods in charge, and the pmdev doing the work at their blessing.

That's what I do. I'm not one to be on my phone et-al, but periodically I do check in on PM from my phone (when I'm indisposed and need something to do), but is there a way that pmdev could make CB an app or similar (pardon my lingo... I don't do the phone-app thing). It appears as though the domain that CB resides in is already external.
Perhaps a CB and notification client for those who love to help is in order ;) (I already know some Monks who use CSS-type stuff to do magic for notifications, but I'm not a web-dev).

I (currently) have the ChatterBox Sidebar up as a full window, with some slight CSS modifications to resize/color/hide/move some pieces. This serves me reasonably well, as I just push it to the background if I need the mental or screen bandwidth.
In a past life, I used an emacs-based MOO reader, where a LambdaMOO instance was used as a project-based chatroom. I have been mulling (for quite a while) a project to incorporate this into my emacs environment. This could be implemented as an IRC client window with a couple PM CB niceties added, or as an http client performing the same.

I must mention Other CB Clients (linked from the Chatterbox nodelet), which mentions a lot of chatterbox clients.
I use a variety of clients. Apart from cbstream, I sometimes look at some of the cbhistory webpages (usually Corion's CB60, but if I somehow need more than an hour, then belg4mit's cblast35 or Tanktalus's node). I also use the cbstream nodelet, and the two chat input boxes in my Free Nodelet, one of which is pre-filled with a link to the node I'm viewing, and one that loads to noisy sunset 2 so I don't have to reload the page I'm viewing.

Rarely any more. If it were more like a persistent chat room I might, but I find the 'click-to-chat' embedded in a web page to be somewhat irksome to use.
