Let's see...

http://drupal.org/project/chatroom no signs of a 6.x version yet
http://drupal.org/project/shoutbox does have one in development, but it is a very simple module
http://drupal.org/project/chatblock no, and not very alive
http://drupal.org/project/chat dead
http://drupal.org/project/chatbox dead

There are some IRC-based ones, not sure if they qualify for you but I like IRC better
http://drupal.org/project/mibbit_irc does have a 6.x version
http://drupal.org/project/phpfreechat not yet

Some people embed Google Talk or Meebo

Yes, I just saw its project

Yes, I just saw its project page at http://drupal.org/project/bowob

There is also http://drupal.org/project/tribune (irc-like, but without irc servers)

http://drupal.org/project/cha

http://drupal.org/project/chatroom has a version 6 available now... but it's a little buggy. Patches are being posted and it seems to be improving.

I like it as it's simple and easy to implement... but like I say it needs a bit of work to get it to release level (but then that's what we're here for :)

I would love something along

I would love something along the lines of the Facebook chat feature which is very handy, sitting at the bottom of the page.

Yes

asak - September 22, 2008 - 20:47

Yes. yes yes yes.

What is that yes supposed to mean?

I'm looking for something similar to what the guy above seem to be looking...
Some chat line for the bottom of the page.

Does anybody familiar with that kind of thing for Drupal?

thanks!
Shahar

Chat - not chat room.

There are some solutions (as mentioned at the top of this issue) for chat rooms, but what it seems we're looking for is a one-on-one chat solution.

The solution for this, i think, is using a jabber server (or similiar) and some open source client to integrate back into drupal. From what i know - that's the way to do it today. There are some other chat servers - but seems that jabber/ejabber would be the best bet.

How to make it 'facebook-style' (sitting on the bottom, waiting for a msg, then popping up) - that's currently beyond me.

For jabber solutions there

cog.rusty - January 10, 2009 - 17:01

For jabber solutions there have been a number of xmpp modules. The only one with active development as far as I know is http://drupal.org/project/xmppframework.

xmppframework can be used by http://drupal.org/project/notifications and http://drupal.org/project/messaging

You may find some post here

@rgracia and @Shahar: You may find some post here on how to create facebook like chat panel either with meebo or tribune.module exactly what you need.
