Teach42

This is strange, but very very cool. While browsing through ITRedux’s Office 2.0 database, I came across Gabbly. At first I thought it was just another web based IM client like Meebo, but I was way off base.

Gabbly is actually a site specific chat room that requires no code or installation to work on your site. In fact, it works already without you doing anything on your part! To see an instant chat window for any site that you’re on, just go to the URL “Gabbly.com/yoursite.com”. That’s it.

For example, if you go to Gabbly.com/teach42.com, you’ll get a chat window that will connect you with everybody using gabbly to chat about Teach42.com right now. Yes, it’s probably empty right now, but hang around and I’m sure someone will join you soon. Seriously. Just give it a little longer. Somebody will come by any minute.

They do provide you with code if you want to embed the chat into your website, instead of having it float above the page. I’m not sure it’s appropriate for every site, but it requires no techinical knowledge at all and doesn’t cost a cent. Can’t hurt to try!
