the cbox

a cbox is an instant messaging box that appears in your blog's sidebar. many years ago, when i had a modblog, i had one such thing. it was actually designed into modblog, though. for some reason there were always other bloggers stopping by and saying hello or commenting on something in the modblog community. the instant chat box served its purpose well.

this one is an independent box that has to be added to your blog. i want to add one but don't know if one will be used enough over here. sometimes reading other blogs, i know i just want to say hi or make a comment/have a question unrelated to any post, a cbox would be perfect for that. considering i don't have a link for others to forward comments to my email, a cbox might be good.

a similar platform is shoutmix. this one does not offer a free service. it has a nicer look, though.
