IRC is amazingly relevant these days, in spite of being one of the older chat protocols out there, and Mibbit is a genius way of using it in a browser.
The word "market" in the title of this thread always makes me think of "meat market", which makes me think of personal ads...and Whitechapel having its own personal ad section for all 6700 of us. I'm pretty sure Unky Warren would destroy such an idea with fire and arse eels, but it amuses me just the same.
Just wanted to nudge this thread a little. I don't even know if Gabbly is working at all anymore. No names have been loaded into the list the last few times, not even my own. A new chatting solution would warrant much love. I got brave enough to join in on the fun right when everyone else got tired of dealing w/ the inconveniences.
