I had a chance to work with jQuery library. Well it seems to be good enough. Of course it doesn’t have too much functions as YUI has, but it’s lightweight and fast. For this reason it can be used for more highly loaded communities - less traffic, less requests - more fast work.

There are three main blocks:
In this post I would like to show some details on the main functions of YoChat instant web messenger. This post will include just a part of whole application functionality review but everything will be reviewed at a later dates.
Well I’ve seen a lot of web oriented instant messenger and chat applications. Some of them are good, and some at not. Basically most of the available products are services like userplane or chuppo which means that you can’t own application and you can’t use your own media server (your own resources).

Hello everyone. Well this is a first post in this blog. As you already guess this blog is devoted to YoChat web messenger development.
Currently we have a huge need in a quality, cheap, high loads stable and fully web based instant messenger with audio/video functions included. What the market has now – is just a few offers which differs too much – either you have to pay a giant subscription fees and use hosted services only either you can’t get quality enough product.
During about past 10 months I’m developing the product currently called YoChat. YoChat is a tiny, but very powerful web based instant messenger. It’s fully ajax-based and includes a few flash parts for audio/video streaming purposes.
