I recommend using FlashChat, it’s a nice and complete script. we are using it right now and it works fine.

Paul, you should use something like chatlet.net that integrates with your website and allows you to chat with your visitors, and provide online help. Chatlet.net is free.

I think you make more blogs for this type. Than we take a lots of information for it.I think itâ€™s understandable that these transit workers feel shortchanged by this request given the years of service theyâ€™ve given the system.

Here’s another completely ajax chat room that you can easily embed into your website or blog. Once inside a chat room simply copy paste the embed code into your website or blog and viola, instant chat. This chat has some other nifty social networking features and user’s don’t have to register in order to start chatting right away.

It seems to be based on web proxying and iframes: You think you?re looking at the target website, e.g. digg.com, but you?re actually looking at gabbly.com with an iframe for digg.com and an iframe above that for the chat window.

too bad the original dev team from Gabbly is gone! The site is totally slow now if it is up at all… What to use now???

Who will you be your target market and what will be your asking rate? Will this service be free?

Just wanted to clarify one thing. We do not proxy. Nothing other than the chat traffic goes through us. We wouldn’t have survived being dugg if we had to proxy all the users’ content through us.

[...] There are many chat applications in the market but Gabbly is different. It allows one to add chat feature to any web site without much hassle. Ajaxian.com has a detailed review of Gabbly. [...]

Jacob, how can Gabbly be a security risk to your machine and/or network? They haven’t touched the digg.com code itself, obviously. The chat is running in its own iframe, there is no way the chat code can touch the site it is projected upon.
It’s just an iframe running some script… nothing to be afraid of… the worst thing that can happen is that the Gabbly chat itself is taken over by malicious script. But that script cannot escape from its iframe.
If I’m missing something please be so kind as to tell me what exactly.

OK the comment sanitizer ate my comments so I’ll try to post the above without triggering him :)

The gabbly chat allows you to post Javascript script tags (in fact it allows pretty much any HTML). As I said, the gabbly guys are working on a fix.

SECURITY ALERT: gabbly.com allows a bad guy to post and … tags in the chat. This is a major security hole. I alerted the gabbly guys. They said they will fix it soon.

Until they fix this you’re running a serious security risk to your machine and the network you’re on by running gabbly chats.

If I had a ‘brochure-ware’ site, with no back-end and no technical expertise, I would definitely embrace this as a tool, since my only ‘installation’ would be to create a link on a page to the gabbly url. Right now this is just a ‘proof-of-concept’, but I can see this becoming quite mature.
