Userplane, the application platform for online communities and a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, unveiled Minichat, now available through the new Webchat 2, an upgrade to the company’s popular chat application.

Minichat is an embeddable tool that provides a preview pane of live chat activity taking place within Userplane Webchat 2. It’s a simple chat output pane, configurable to display either a single line of text or an entire conversation block – able to be skinned, sized and placed within virtually any online environment. Website visitors immediately see the live conversation and can join directly from the preview pane – there’s no need to launch a separate application or to enter a chat room.

Like all Userplane applications, Webchat 2 with Minichat is offered as a free, ad-supported app. In addition, publishers/webmasters can choose to allow embedded text ads and share the ad revenue with Userplane. Webchat 2 is available now for clients using an Integrated API, and will be extended to those using the Instant Install script option later this year.
