Webby Chat

Trying out a new piece of web magic. Webby Chat is a little bit of javascript that adds a sliding chat window to any website. You can see the button on the right of the page. I can see this as being cool for busy or more social sites but probably won’t be much use for whataboutki.com. That being said I’m always a sucker for new gadgets, so I have added it anyway.

Webby Chat is slightly customizable allowing you to:

    choose which side of the browser it will appear on
    whether it is open by default
    how wide the chat box is
    where the webby chat button will appear

It still has its problems though, not letting you choose your own name is a pain, and the sliding window goes over your sites content in Firefox. It’s still in beta though so these will all be fixed in the future you would think.

    Hey Ki,

    Thanks for trying out webbychat! We really appreciate people like you giving our software a chance. We've receive a lot of great feedback, and certainly USER NAMES are a high priority. I just added an IDEAS page to give people some thought on where we are going with things.
