Hi,

A website or blog visitor will chat with you only if it’s made very easy for them. There are many reasons why you might place a chatroom on your blog. Note, that this chatroom we are talking about is not a private one. It’s like a Yahoo Chat room. Anyone can join the conversation. Now, why would you need a chat room on your site?
