Let's chat with Ajax

Let's chat with Ajax: "Want to chat with Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)? Wish you could have a dedicated, open source Web chat pop up in response to a system event and let you know what's happening—for example, when performance goes below the guaranteed service level? Regular developerWorks author Judith Myerson introduces the idea of a two-panel chat for systems administrators to exchange private messages on one side and broadcast messages to general users on the other side. She offers solutions for chat server overload and talks about the issues of downloading Ajax Chat, how to change configurations, and even how to add as many channels as you want."
