iFlyChat is a real time chat plugin best suited for community and social networking websites. It helps in increasing user engagement of your WordPress site by enabling users to chat with each other privately (one to one private conversation), group chat or in chat rooms. Also, it is useful for forums, blogs, dating sites etc. It can also be configured to provide online support for products/services. It logs the user conversations so that they can be later viewed using shortcode. You can try it out live here.
