Gabbly Chat
Look to the right on the homepage! See that weird looking box that
says Gabbly Chat? Want to know what it is?
Gabbly Chat is our own little chat box for our coblog. Whenever anyone
gets onto the coblog, they will automatically logon to the Chat box.
Then you can automatically talk to them. You can make your own name
easily in the lower left of the box. If you click on the column with
the arrow on the right side, you can see all the others who are also
on the site. It is probably a good idea to be clear with your name if
you want others to know who they are chatting with!
Gabbly Chat is an incredibly versitile tool that goes far beyond just
chatting on this site. It has a built in RSS feed which you can use to
keep track of the conversations that happened when you were not
around. It also can be implemented easily into your own personal web
portal (more on this later) so that you can chat with those on the
coblog without actually being on the site.
Another thing you can do with Gabbly Chat is search. Use the little
box entitled "Topic:" to search google. This will open a new window
and in that new window the Gabbly box comes with you. The chat box
automatically logs you into the chat for whatever site you go to. This
makes it possible for you to chat with others who are on that site,
using Gabbly, at the same time as you. This could potentially be
incredibly useful, especially if you need help finding something or
figuring something out.
An amazing tool to say the least. What do you think? Do you like it?
Will you use it?
All it takes is participation...
