I don’t agree with you in 100%, but you covered some good points regarding this topic

A splash page with links to a message/notice board, web chat, an FTP server/Open Share for files etc can make an enormous difference to the feeling of community. Even better, it encourages you to come back to the same Cafe.
I’ve met a whole bunch of interesting random people hanging out in Wifi equipped cafes just through Ichat with Rendevous/Bonjour switched on… If the pretty girl over the other side of the room’s got her Ibook on her lap, it’s an even easier ice-breaker than fronting up to her table. Just a thought

So true. And not only does nobody speak, nobody spends. OK, back to my computer. :)
