There are a lot of social network chat options available out there, but what if you want to host a chat on your own social home-base?  

 

With Hoop.la's integrated chat events, you can host a live chat on your site, and use the embed code to place a fully functional version on other sites as well.  It's the best of both worlds.  Oh, and no Flash or plugins required.  Did I mention that you can also participate in a chat from the native mobile interface as well?

 

In case you haven't checked it out yet, these are just some of the cool things you can do with Hoop.la's chat:

  • Participants can use the social sharing buttons directly from the chat, for promotion
  • Chat events can be moderated, screening questions before they go live, and banning unruly guests
  • You can allow guests to submit questions in advance of the chat
  • You can include an optional featured guest or celebrity
  • The whisper tool allows backchannel communication for admins and moderators
  • Participants can post photos within the chat
  • Every chat is saved and viewable after the event

And here's what a live chat might look like on your site...(this one happens to be from GaGaJoyJoy, a Big Brother UK fan community.)
