Apparently, this is going to be huge. Just to give you a preview: “In about 12 hours we’ll find out what the world (or at least, 500 beta testers) think of itzle studios’ first webware offering.” (Remember Web 2.0 marketing is closely related to buzz.)

Messenger and bring conversations as bubbles. The later comes as a Firefox extension, and is compatible with all Jabber IM clients. But both don’t require the website administrator to install any widgets.
