Talking to other users.

So now that I can see who else is online at the same time as me, I feel like talking to them and seeing how they are, but there really isn't a good way to do it right now. Do other people feel the same way? Should I look into solutions?

I actually can put in a really crappy chat box. Just simple java script. Ugly, but it would work.

Java huh?

Ah, that would work. If you can do it in flash, that'd be classy. But yeah, just throwing it in a mysql would work. Hell, you could just have a "Recent chat" in bottom of the who's online box. Then when I update just any ol' page, I see what you guys may have said. Although, that's even crappier. Sorry, not super helpful. ;)
