Meebo seems to be the most used one. I guess an alternative is to use Mogulus and their chat. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-117796 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:21:38 Scrivs 117796 <p>Does anyone have any other suggestions for this? We tested Meebo chat a couple weeks ago and we couldn't get their Rooms feature to work. It worked for some, but I wasn't able to interact at all. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4911 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 07:08:09 frotzed 4911 <p>Facebook's not a bad option.</p> <p>What scripts? Like Meebo? </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4871 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 04:06:39 Josue 4871 <p>Does facebook have a live chat?</p> <p>Ben, you could simply install one of those chat scripts on your site. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4865 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 02:48:29 avuee 4865 <p>There's always Facebook. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4850 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 20:57:23 frotzed 4850 <p>@Scrivs: Well, budget is somewhat a consideration but $12/mo isn't too bad. I think we can swing $144/yr. Campfire looks perfect by the way. I'll just have to convince a couple of committees that it's worth the investment.</p> <p>@notMe: I'm looking at Gabbly right now and it looks viable. I'll have to research it further. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4849 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 20:05:46 notMe 4849 <p>I found one that works pretty well and is easy to implement.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gabbly.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.gabbly.com</a></p> <p>to use it just link to something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gabbly.com/yourdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.gabbly.com/yourdomain.com</a> </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4843 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 10:28:41 Scrivs 4843 <p>Yeah not sure the amount of people or budget concerns here, but look at Campfire by the 37signals crew. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4840 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 08:26:23 frotzed 4840 <p>A group blog isn't really what I'm looking for, I'd really like a live option. I'll check out 37 signals.</p> <p>Even though my college students are good with computers I think IRC is a little beyond their expereince. </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4839 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 07:56:14 rangga 4839 <p>I thought College students are IRC Freaks? Before there was MySpace... </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4836 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 04:24:02 avuee 4836 <p>I believe 37signals has a free program that has a chat room built in. If that doesn't work, what about doing a group blog? </p> http://decaflon.com/programming/notes/615/p/1/#response-4831 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 01:19:35 frotzed 4831 <p>I wasn't sure which community to post this note in so I just picked programming because they're all 1337 in here.</p> <p>I'm a minister and I have a vision. I've got a group of college students in my church that I'd like to minister to. The problem is they're only in town during the summer and then they go back to their schools for the rest of the year. They're all very computer literate so I'd like to have a sort of "live forum" if there is such a thing.</p> <p>I envision an online location we can meet at a designated time to have live Bible studies via computer. The only option that came to mind was IRC but I'm not sure of 1. how to set up an IRC room and 2. I'm not sure the college students are that geeky as to know how to use IRC due to the commands.</p> <p>At any rate, what's my best option? </p>
