Tip: Free 24/7 open AIM Chat Room for your site

[Logician]

Hey there,

In case you didn't know: If you have an AIM (American Online Instant Messanger) username, you can open a 24/7 open chat room for your AIM name and integrate it to your site in 2 minutes.

AIM allows you to have a free chatroom for your username and anybody can join this room even if you are not online.

Actually if you have an AIM account, you have this chat room without doing anything: Just link

PHP Code:

aim:gochat?roomname=YOUR_AIM_NAME+Chat 


in your site and your users can join the chat room by clicking it if they also have AIM.

But if you want to have a full HTML code, follow this link

If you want only vb members to join your chatroom, well AIM does not provide you with such a solution but I'm sure you can use methods like giving the chatroom entrance in a member only page etc.

Also needless to say chatters should have AIM to join the chat room. So it's not perfect but still a very good free solution which is better than nothing..
