Skype Public Chat snippets
Add live chatting to your website. Both hosts and participants can promote public chat that they are members of.  Invite your visitors to your very own personal chat room and ask for instant feedback, new ideas and comments on what more they’d like to see on your site. Setting up the chat is really easy and you can tweak it to suit you and your audience.
