In-Site Instant Messaging-Framework?

Question

Is there any instant messaging framework or service that enables in-site chatting like the Facebook chat-bar or the Meebo bar?

I've already tried it, but the documentation is not finished and there are still many bugs?! — fabianpimminger, Feb 22 '11 at 09:13

I think you should read about COMET. For making your own instant messaging system.

You can find more information on wikipedia:

There seems to be a solution now named CometChat, which is a commercial product.

As already mentioned this could be implemented via a technique called Comet. (The term was coined by Alex Russell in a blog entry.) But PHP does not seem to be very well suited for this technique as already discussed on StackOverflow:

You should have a look at these threads because they also provide further explanations as well as hints for solutions or alternativ implementations.
