Web-based chatrooms. Thanks to the magic of
XMPP/Jabber, BOSH, JavaScript, etc. it works just like
regular chatrooms, except that it’s all in the comfort of your web browser.
You can create your own room, set themes, etc. You can even join Jabber
conference rooms on other servers.

It’s somewhat similar to an idea that I had, except that I’m not sure that the
traditional chatroom format is what people want. But I could be wrong. (Who
am I to tell people what they want.)

Nevertheless, it illustrates how XMPP can make the web more dynamic and
interactive. Like my Talk-to-me web chat. And it
looks like the Jabber website will soon have more
lively content.

(Speeqe is also
Free/Open Source, so
you can, among other things, download it and run your own server, and modify it
to your heart’s content. (As long as you follow the licensing terms.))
