		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been testing out ajchat tonight with Brian Benzinger (a fellow web 2.0 workgroup member). Like Meebo, Gtalk and e-messenger.net, ajchat is an ajax instant messaging on the fly, that allows you to log in or type anonymously. It&#8217;s free. The ajchat blog is here. At this point, it appears that all chat sessions are public and linked from the home page. There is also an option to share a chat directly on a webpage, and against my better judgement that is exactly what I am going to do here. If it works, it will appear below. This to me, is a compelling feature that starts to encroach on some of the stuff that Userplane is doing. UPDATE: I took down the chat box. The entire site went down shortly after I put it up. It was nice while it lasted, though. UPDATE: Ok, the ajchat site is back up, but very unstable. Trying this again because, frankly, it rocks. UPDATE: It broke again. Took it down. It looks like their hosting service killed them. For those of you who didn&#8217;t see it, really, it was very cool.]]></description>
