Hi!
I would like to add a live chat service on my website. I need a solution that enables people visiting my website to chat with me in real time.
Specifically I need something that shows visitors if I am online and
that warns me when visitors try to chat.
A freeware script would be best.
Any idea? Thank you.

The one I use on my company website is Crafty Syntax Live Help. It's the best one I have found over the last few years of using it.

It is not too hard to create your own, it just takes a bit of server side programming and nowadays an XMLHTTPrequest.
A Java applet might be another approach, though it is possible to do this all just using the standard facilities offered by the browser.
You have to be a little careful with using a 3rd party tool, as problems can appear later as browsers get updated, and if you don't know the code then you are left waiting for an update or forced to go round the merry go round of selecting a new chat system that does work.

I would have to disagree. Very rarely does an updated browser break a script like the one I posted above. It's usually the upgrading of server software that might break something critical. Even so, using a third-party script that's open source will yield a patch far quicker than if you wrote it your self. Plus, you can always find support somewhere.

Though its not hard to develop our own chat. we will have to put a big effort to get that flexibility. so something like Crafty Syntax live help would be easier for you.

It's been a while since this topic was initiated, but I suggest checking out www.hab.la. They offer a free live chat client that ties into any Instant Messaging Client (Gtalk, Jabber, etc.) on the back end. I've had them on my site for about 3 months now and it has been working out great. Their sign up was very straight forward, with Gtalk it takes one click and one paste of code onto your site's pages.
Works great

Yes, it's a very old post. Just in case anyone still interested, I wrote a step by step guide to create facebook-like chat panel for your own site if based on drupal. Hope it can useful.

A good chat application i know is livecom (.net) it has a very reliable chat application, you can also use video (cam) or voice to support your customer. they also provide reports on your web statistics, information about your visitors (geographic locations, IP address, search engine keywords, etc)

Just gave CraftySyntax a try for a client here at work, a little too "technical" for the client we have, may look at seeing how it works to write out own though, but did have all the features we needed than many others didn't, which is to be able to have more than just one "company" person online to chat with, and as people come in they can grab them and handle them separately.
