I am sure most bloggers are familiar with Shout Boxes. These are mini windows where you could place in the sidebar of your blog and invite live chatting with your blog readers.

When I first started my blog, I was looking high and low for a chat box too but in the end, I decided not to place one in my blog because it invites unsolicited comments and link exchanges and also promotes spam. However, chat boxes or shout boxes are still very popular, especially among young bloggers who run personal blogs.

Here is a shout box that I chanced upon this morning called, cutely, Yellbox. I’m not going to write more about it because it has the same concept as a shout box. If you are looking for one for your blog, check this out.
