Live chats are popular

I've actually looked at some of the different live chat software for my local blog, I think it would be helpful when I'm live blogging events to be able to use that as opposed to the traditional blog software which requires constant updating to have the new material appear. I recommend using a test blog to try out the different types so that you can play around with the settings without interfering with the normal operation of your blog, that way when you do start a live chat? You already know what works and it makes a much smoother operation for you.
