Ok, so there is this place called Gabbly that lets you chat with people logged in on a website. You log in at [gabbly.com](http://gabbly.com) or just put [gabbly.com/(website)](http://gabbly.com/(website)) in front, and pick a user name. It’s pretty fun, but doesn’t seem well known, cause I am apparently the first Doper on the boards ☹

Nobody else gabbling?
