I recently added a chat room to my site for people who wanna come in and say hello, see who else is on the site and have a conversation, or whatever. I used the service Chatterous which is a new way to bring a chat to your site or blog.

Now what is kool about Chatterous is the ability to send and receive messages either via Instant Message, E-Mail, or even via your phone as SMS text messages! How kool is that?

What is Chatterous?

Chatterous is group chat combining the web, im, email and your phone.

Use your existing im, email and phone to chat

Once you create a group, you can chat with your friends through im, email or your phone. No need to use the website!

Your friends don't need to sign up

Your friends don't need to sign up to chat with you! They can reply right on their im, email or phone.

Help your friends reach each other

Once you've created a group for your friends, everyone in the group can reach each other whether they're on im, email or out and about on their phone.

No installation needed

You don't have to install any software! Just use your existing im client, email or phone!

So now I can be 300 miles away from a computer but still be active on my site in my chat room. And setup is a breeze. So come on in to my room say hello and see if this is something you might want to add as a service on your site or blog.
