If you do that trough MSN then that means...
- Visitors will need to logon with their own MSN account on the site
- Visitors without a MSN account would be unable to chat
- Allot of visitors will not trust a site that asks for their MSN password
- The site owner will need "All others" on his allow list (Tools > Options... > Privacy)
- Signing in is to much hassle for most visitors

Maybe you can do a shoutbox type of thing on the site itself so people won't need to sign in or anything and still let the shoutbox backend send everything to the owner's MSN over one account.

Not necessarily, he could open three or four accounts for his visitors to use. Maybe at some point, the system would be busy with all guest accounts in use.


Yes, but use a shoutbox...  or try this (http://www.plasticshore.com/projects/chat/index.html) this is a open source "chat" (shoutbox) AJAX based.
