Instead of chat, why don't you think about a shoutbox

I have one by shoutmix on my site

http://www.shoutmix.com/shoutbox/home

It's a bit slower than chat, and you can't see who is online, but, he he, it is easier to do.

Nice posts there, do either of you actually use them on your sites, be good to see either in operation so to speak.

I did think about adding one, but unless you have a lot of people viewing your site at the same time, it wouldn't really work. One good thing about shoutbox, you can view posts, and comment on, content added whilst you were "offline".

I still need to modify certain things there but still its good. And top banner u can modify !! u can put ur own chat room name banner and u can change the background colour ? and on best part is that there is no advertisement !!
so first tell me what is ur site's URL

@nilisha: Why do you type all your messages in bold?

It hurts the eyes, dumbo. It catches the eyes and irritates me. I'm surprised how I haven't got into flaming mode yet.

And make some effort to type complete words like 'yours'. You can save some keystrokes by avoiding all thedots. ;)

I'm absolutely sure that adding chat or blog to the site may be very useful, as it is a way to evaluate your customers' needs, review their opinions, complaints, etc. And get the overall attitude towards your site/business that is useful for analysis of your site/business.

However, it is reasonable to open a chat only if you have enough customers who would communicate there.

Cheers!

Tis an old thread, but certainly caught my attention. Perhaps I may pitch in my $0.02..

With the new trend of "social media", I think adding a chat to a blog / website is a nice way to reach out to your audience and also build a community around your site.

It's also a good way to "get to know" your audience through small talks, especially for a blog.

One good embeddable chat I'd recommend is Chatroll ( http://chatroll.com) . It's a community of "live forums" that also serves as embeddable chat.

Here is another article about it:
http://blog.chatroll.com/how-to/add-a-blog-chat-room-in-3-easy-steps

The only drawback (or advantage?) is that its not flash based. So it can't nicely integrate into a site built on flash..

Cheers!
