Toksta.com - Browser Based Instant Messenger

Toksta.com is an interesting project that should have the attention of anyone who uses a social networking site. Through the site, you’ll be able to acquire an instant messaging client that you can embed right into your profile. This will make it possible for you to avoid having to switch over to a program like MSN or GTalk, since you’ll be able to interact with your friends through your browser. Embedding it is surprisingly easy, as all you have to do is copy and paste some HTML code into your profile. You can even customize the color and the font, to make it match your site’s look and feel (you can even upload your site’s logo). The service is free, but if you don’t want to have advertising embedded into your site, you can contact the sales team and buy a license to use an ad-free version.

“toksta* is a free instant messenger, which is easy to implement and customize into your social networking site or forum.”

There are similar applications that do this, but this one has a more instant-messenger-like feel to it.

Why not stick to the regular chat clients? Aren’t instant messaging programs easier to use?
