Gabbly - Unusual browser based chat client

Tuesday, July 11. 2006

Gabbly is a browser based chat client that can be overlayed on top of a website.

Add your URL to the end of Gabbly's URL like this - http://www.gabbly.com/www.forumone.com

Anyone accessing that URL has entered a group chat and can discuss the page.

When would you use this:
- If multiple people need to discuss a webpage and phones aren't available.

Why you might not want to use it:
- I never recommend conducting a design review over a chat session. In person or by phone is best.
- Gabbly's view is unique to each visitor. If I navigate away from the home page, the others stay on the home page. I have to tell them to move to another page.
