I’m on the fence when it comes to Pibb, but they are in the right area (and led by some smart people) with their new embeddable chat/thread code for WordPress blogs. I don’t think I have enough audience to warrant using Pibb for my posts, but it would be a viable replacement for commenting.
I wonder how it handles spammers?

Pibb Launches Embeddable Chat

We wrote about Pibb first back in May and I called it a “comprehensive communications tool“. It’s “like” a combo of a very fancy IRC client plus a top notch message board. Pibb is brought to you by the folks at Janrain who also are contributors to the OpenID protocol.

Today they announced that you can embed Pibb into your web site or blog. Adding Pibb is easy with just a simple script code addition and if you use Wordpress, they offer a plugin as well. Users will need an OpenID account to post comments into embeddable Pibb which might limit comments until OpenID becomes more well accepted. Check out the details on the Pibb blog.
