PHP Blog Manager, the new blogging tool that gives us this fabulous customized look, has just upgraded the user control panel to include a live chat room!
What a cool idea!

Each blog account manager may add users, assign passwords and permissions, etc. allowing others to participate and post in the blog at their discretion. Now all of the members in a blog group can meet inside their blogging accounts via the Group Chat feature.

The feature is still in the beta stages, with lots of promising updates soon to be added in - but even in this early phase it provides a quick and easy way to generate ideas as a group, have meetings, and even run a virtual classroom.

You can check out the feature by registering for an account here.
