So the open-source content management system Drupal got yet another feather in its cap: a chat module using Ajax. It's a very early build (we're talking alpha here), but it looks pretty cool. You'll need the buddylist module first, making sure you have buddies of course, and obviously a Drupal site.There are other ways to chat using Drupal, but they either require external apps or are just plain old HTML. Expect some rough edges as it's mostly a proof-of-concept at this point, but word is that it's working well in Firefox.
And for those of you who don't know, Drupal is great for making things like blogs and forums, and is currently used to power Linux Journal.
