Online chat on page

Hi All,

Is there any online built in chat component available in Livesite. Or is it possible to build a online chat using LiveSite.

Environment:
Teamsite 7.2
Solaris

Please let me know whether it is possible to have chat implemented on the website.
Something like the facebook chat.

Regards,
Ram

Possible = yes; good idea = questionable; ootb = not by a long shot.

You'd be better off writing the service as a standalone app outside of LiveSite, and then injecting just the UI for it in your pages using a component and/or page injection and/or javascript. By making this its own service with an AJAX API, it's isolated from impacting the core performance of your website (LiveSite) and it's maximally reusable by any other website you have, static or not. There's likely COTS software that already exists for this, which would probably follow this architecture.
