What is CometChat?

It is a PHP-MySQL (or MSSQL) powered application that enables users of a website to easily communicate with each other and interact with the website.

CometChat One on One

CometChat sits in the footer of a website and supports both text (including group chat) + video/voice chat. It also allows file transfers, screensharing and, with the most recent version, the ability to chat with Gtalk and Facebook friends.

This is an exciting feature as it helps "the activity of users to grow" by keeping them on the website more.

CometChat FAcebook and Gtalk Integration

The application also offers more than chat:

  • it has 100+ built-in games -including multiplayer ones-
  • users can write or draw together on whiteboards or writeboards
  • it is possible to publish announcements
  • integrates Facebook fan page and displays Twitter activities
  • works as a social share widget

There are integrations with many other popular softwares (like JomSocial, vBulletin, SocialEngine, Invision Power Board, phpFox, Boonex Dolphin, BuddyPress, phpBB, WordPress, SkaDate, Elgg and more) exist.

CometChat Mobile

With the new version, there is now a mobile web interface which works in all major devices/platforms.
