- EyePulp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It is what it says it is. The end is nigh for IRC.
Or not. - godelfin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dat-o-licious? Will it unexpectedly shut down for days at a time once Yahoo! buys it out?
/not bitter - Stonekeeper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Excellent! Now get onto priv msgs! :D
- kmesiab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digg Effect?
www.webhost4life.com has shut down my account due to the tremendous turnout from digg.com users. They demanded I upgrade my account, and told me the 'unlimited bandwidth' clause did not account for this kind of traffic.
Thanks to all the digg'ers who stopped by. Remember this the next time you're looking for a host.
The source code is still available at the link in the first few comments and an alternative site is temporarily hosted at http://mesiab.servebeer.com/chat-o-licious - kmesiab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digg effect is wreaking havoc on my poor webservers. Breaking out the cans of spinnach as we speak!

I wrote similar site with AJAX and CSS for a university assignment. - drye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There would be more comments but everyone is chatting instead...LOL
- fa_pa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wow wow wow ASP.net and minimalistic that is something that never goes in one sentence ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It'S ok..
- PhilPrice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty slick experiance, still a little buggy mind ;)
- kmesiab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Get the sources (subversion) svn://mesiab.servebeer.com/public/chat-o-licious/trunk
or for those without subversion clients:
http://mesiab.servebeer.com/svnbrowser/?path=svn://mesiab.servebeer.com/public/chat-o-licious/trunk
This proof of concept is very bare-bones. Users are timed out after ten minutes to preserve bandwidth. Just hit the back-button and log in again. Keep an eye out on the login page for details on implementation.
Thanks for the digg! - Gnascher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0kmesiab ...
SNACKeR is somewhat right. You could feasibly do something similar with asynchronous SOAP requests ... but that would be unnecessarily heavy.
I thin AJAX fits the bill for something this simple, especially if it's not interacting with a database. - Pavel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty cool chat:)
Yet another:
Realtime multiuser drawing (ChatPanel included)

No, he's right, ASP.NET has SOAP! - kmesiab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>>> what do you need ajax for if you are using asp.net?

Ajax is a client side technology. It's Javascript. ASP.NET is a server side technology.
Ajax is what makes the seamless chat experience without page refreshes. ASP.NET is what enables the chat engine, manages the memory and other core features done on the server. The two work together to create what you see.
:) - KevInTx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmm, this is a really nice use of AJAX. I could see when it would be useful to include in a SOHO or personal website.
- Mike89, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is awesome
- Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> what do you need ajax for if you are using asp.net?

- Skettalee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its cool, but now I cant log in cause my names already in there and when I do pick another name, it wont let me type. I guess only a certain amount of users can type. I want a PHP Version for my website! Let me know and ill pay. damien.benoit@shaw.af.mil
- rlorenzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0is there a AJAXed chat that utilizes the Jabber protocal?
- a.wulf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice work.
thoughts:
1. when a user chats, add this text to his window immediately and don't wait for ajax response. then replace it when the response comes. it'd make it feel like it's faster/realtime, instead of on a 2second delay.
2. only scroll the window down if its aleady scrolled all the way down. its annoying to try and scroll up to read something that's off the screen and have it auto scroll down 2 seconds later...
all it all, gj - sedgemonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why are people comparing this to IRC and chat clients like AIM, YIM, MSN, etc. This is an open source web page based chat client. There's a huge difference! You can integrate a web chat into a web page and customize it to your hearts content.
The app featured here isn't exactly groundbreaking (any decent programmer should be able to produce something similar in a day), but it is not the same thing as IRC/Messenger Clients.
I'm also suprised at how many people throw out mindless insults at ASP.NET, ASP, PHP, Coldfusion, JSP or any other TOOL. All of the web tools have their positive and negative aspects and they are all pretty damn similar. Most importantly... they are means to an end. - Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0> SNACKeR is somewhat right.

What? No. No you couldn't. .NET IS SERVER-SIDE. Completely different.
Yes, we all know a .NET page has built in classes for calling remote web services. I get it. But that is hardly the same thing as loading dynamic content asynchronously client-side. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I too toyed around with this idea and you can check it out at http://chat.digitalgod.org. It's not a beefy server so be kind. I also wrapped Google Maps functionality into it as well, so if you enable the maps layer, each time someone enters a message, the map will zoom to their location on the globe. Uses PHP, AJAX, MySQL, etc.
- Pavel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey!
This chat produce 87Mb of traffic in 2 hours!!!
Is it normal?
Do you load all userlist and messages every 2 seconds? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://socket7.net/lace/ is another AJAX chat implementation as well. One of the earlier ones.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ASP programming is pretty bulky IMO.
- LeProgrammeurII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Pretty cool.
There is also a walkthrough tutorial at www.KYNOU.com.
Check it out! - axod, on 01/06/2008, -0/+0http://www.mibbit.com is pretty cool, an AJAX IRC Client that has some pretty good features :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For the record I love Coldfusion, but I don't see why everyone is on AJAXs nuts all of the sudden.
- DrPepperRules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you want to see one that really looks good when fused into the design of the whole site check out http://www.stirman.net.
- bkroeger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>is there a AJAXed chat that utilizes the Jabber protocal?
There is. At http://www.icesoft.com/downloadA.html there is a free ICEfaces Alpha download containing an example Jabber Chat application using Java and AJAX. - ArdentRogue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"They demanded I upgrade my account, and told me the 'unlimited bandwidth' clause did not account for this kind of traffic."
Umm, sorry, by unlimited we didn't really mean 'unlimited'. That's funny. Well, not really, but it is. - kmesiab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Back online with semi-dedicated hosting.
- jo42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ASP.Net?
Hork. Phew. - mcarolan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Eek. Cold fusion, productivity that promotes RSI
- three, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.foobar3.net/cgi/chat/
I started a realtime shoutbox that is similar to this. After seeing this I added a few features that Diggers suggested. Decided to be lame and post a link to my own...
No user window yet, use /who.
BTW, Jive, check out the JavaScript used to scroll the chat text. I finally got it to scroll automatically, unless the user has scrolled upwards in the document. - dsterry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I took this chat client and created a php server for it...
http://www.sterryit.com/chatr
visit to try it or get source. - sintaks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not bad. I made one in PHP a while back.
http://www.thecurrentweb.com/my_gripe_old/mygripe/main.php - Trepan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0what do you need ajax for if you are using asp.net?
- circusbred, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Pretty easy to spoof. Took all of a minute looking at the source to find it.
- generalleoff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0aol kiddies took over lead by nig nog
- Shurik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Oh my God... Lame chat and sooo much attention! What was the poster thinking besides "Let me show off my first chat done in html with the buzz-thing AJAX"... So what? Damn... At least do something that is worth other people attention.. This would take like 1 day to implement and I didn't even look at the server-side code - probably lame and crappy, considering how slow everything is..
- klassik, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1lol nig nog!
- MoeB, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0php is teh gay
- rc_collins, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0People still use ASP.NET ? I guess there will always be douchebags that think ASP is teh bomb.
--dan - nugget, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Wait a second, I think I've seen a few programs that do this already... Oh ya, Mirc, Xchat, Aim, Yahoo, MSN, Gaim, Trillian, and the list goes on. You can do that with all those, and more. I do not think this is anything new, its just another way to do it that is not the best. Now, when it beats out kopete or trillian then I will be intrested, however it is pretty useless now. Sure the guy spent some time and its just a proof of concept, but how is it going to do anything for ya? Kinda pointless article.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0***** YOU NIG NOG!
