aim: URL for Go Chat
Saturday, February 10th, 2007
Continuing on with this series of posts on AIM URLs, I now introduce a tool to help you create “Go Chat†URLs which are used to enter or start a chat room. You can specify up to two parameters: the room’s name and exchange number. The room’s name can be almost anything you want and the exchange is either 4 or 5 and can be omitted which would then default it to 4.
You can use the Go Chat URL Generator tool to help you create these kinds of URLs. Just follow the instructions on the page and then paste the HTML or URL in a web page, e-mail, IM, or desktop shortcut. Here is a sample link I created with this tool: Go Chat Link.
RX-PLUGIN USERS: You can generate a Go Chat link in a conversation with a buddy by typing “chat(roomname)†where roomname is the chat room name you want the buddy to join. Give it a try.
