Lingr chatroom embedded in a web page! 0

The response of the developer community to our new Lingr API has been amazing. Practically every day, I'm astounded by the innovative and totally unexpected ways that people use it.

One thing that I did expect, however, was that someone would write a Javascript client to the API, and, behold, this guy has done it.

This means that you can, for example, create a chatroom for your blog users and embed that chatroom directly into your blog! Also, because it uses the Lingr backend, the chat is live between the embedded mini-chatroom and the corresponding room on lingr.com. So you can embed the chatroom right in context, but take advantage of Lingr's ability to draw visitors.

For those of you who don't read Japanese, the meat of the matter is here.
