Pibb Launches Embeddable Chat
by Allen Stern on August 10th, 2007
We wrote about Pibb first back in May and I called it a "comprehensive communications tool". It's "like" a combo of a very fancy IRC client plus a top notch message board. Pibb is brought to you by the folks at Janrain who also are contributors to the OpenID protocol.
Today they announced that you can embed Pibb into your web site or blog. Adding Pibb is easy with just a simple script code addition and if you use Wordpress, they offer a plugin as well. Users will need an OpenID account to post comments into embeddable Pibb which might limit comments until OpenID becomes more well accepted. Check out the details on the Pibb blog.
Here is a sample of an embedded Pibb (click the image for the larger version):






Hi Allen,
Sorry for the belated comment, but I wanted to say thanks for posting about this. We should have some more cool features coming out in the near future.
Cheers,
Kevin
