UPDATE Info:
Existing users, please update your host value to ‘chat.fastcatsoftware.com’.
BLOGCHAT is a live comment and chat system that was created specifically for blogs. With BLOGCHAT, each article or page on your blog can have its own dedicated real time discussion area.
BLOGCHAT can be used for both comments and chat; however, it does not replace your existing comment system. It also comes with a whole host of bells and whistles: video conferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging, games, to name a few.
BLOGCHAT is a specialized version of the FCChat Chat Platform (See also: FCChat Widget Plugin- https://wordpress.org/plugins/fcchat/)
