The value of public embeddable chats, at least to me, is the ability to participate without having to sign in for anything. Meebome works extremely well for this.

A possible application to look into is integration with BlackBerry Messenger. It is very powerful and would seem more appropriate for a chat session than over SMS.

Good luck.

Yikes, Meebo Rooms is a UX disaster though. I tried using it on our 'maintenance page' once when we were upgrading our servers, and it was a visual design abortion.

Definitely psyched about using Chatterous in the future.

Also, Campfire, watch out.

The real use of chatterous though, for me, is the private or semi-private groups.

I use them on personal and work project groups now (via Gtalk.. when it works ;)) and it up productivity no end.

The way I see chatterous is like a modern, web based form of IRC. Very little else has come close to that before :)
