Google Maps AJAX Chat

In case if you have not tried it yet, visit our 'google maps ajax chat' here. The example uses the WebORB Message Server to enable public and private chat. The example also demonstrates features like passing complex types between connected clients and private messaging (implemented as private map sharing). We will be writing up an article soon describing the implementation of the client side of the example.

The map sharing functionality in the example has just been slightly improved. We listed to the feedback and incorporated some changes to make the feature more noticeable.

This is incredibly cool.

Wow.

A few things, maybe:
- Implement a chatroom bot that kicks/bans guests who use offensive language
- Implement flood prevention
- Make the site layout wider
- Implement mod/admin functions
- Offer a reduced download package for sale, so it can be used on other servers (esp. for community platforms)

I cannot believe you released this chat without flood protection and smut filters. People are spamming the room with insults all the time.

I just cannot believe it. It would be easy to do.

Hoping for upgrades ;-)

This is great! Have you seen any other cool implementations of real time mapping of chat or other activities? IE: FedEx shows you where your package is in real time...
