FreiChat is a free chat software for Elgg, it is currently used in thousands of websites ranging from social networks, gaming portals, educational websites, forums and product based websites.
FreiChat is a must have chat Plugin for any Elgg website. It not only helps users socialize(for social networking sites) but also has proven to improve sales in product related websites.
FreiChat integrates with Elgg as a plugin, but doesn’t depend upon the Elgg framework, thus making it much faster than any chat plugin/module/extension available.
FreiChat synchronizes automatically with your Elgg users(login/logout), Profiles, Friends List and Avatars. It provides all the functionality out of the box without any need for tweaking.
