A chatroom for any website: Zpeech

The Yahoo! recent acquisition of MyBlogLog puts a trend into orbit, that making authors and visitors of a web site discover each other is promised to a great future. There are several Firefox plugins that already provides a chat window while surfing, Zpeech does the same, but it is a cool new tool that has the big advantage to be cross-browser.

Zpeech consists of chatrooms that anybody can enter by adding a specific web site URL to the Zpeech’s one. For instance, http://www.zpeech.com/www.21talks.net to access this current blog, and right after a registration to the service, you can start commenting.

Right now, the chat tool doesn’t work on dynamic websites. This excludes some online newspapers like the NYTimes.com, and email readers. It also isn’t able to give you the ability to open the chatroom in a dedicated pop-up window. And last thing, we hope that it will include some voice over IP capabilities, as the name Zpeech said.

  • How cool ist that. But it seem to be rather a discussion board than a chat. The comments stay permanent…
    Great,

  • Tim: Discussion board, chat history, they are quite the same, aren’t they? In chat, messages follow the last-in-first-out principle. But chat logs are similar to a discussion board. It just depends on how long are messages.

  • If zpeech would give the ability to categorize a comment I´ll love this tool. In other apps similar to zpeech you have no history or you can´t access the log.
