That's not really the same though, for example I have the calling  
cards of a small group of friends that regularly go exploring together  
in a folder, so I can quickly start an ad-hoc group chat with them  
without having to search for and select each name in my friends list  
every time. To do the same there would need to be way of grouping your  
own friends list, or tagging contacts.

As far as I know there's no other way of adding people to an existing  
ad-hoc chat without dragging calling cards at present.
