AMERIDUM CHAT characteristics:
NO JAVA - built with html, Javascript, XML, C#, using Ajax techniques.
NO DATABASE - no need for a database (since it is XML based). - no flashing: Based on advanced Ajax techniques the chat screen refreshes every second(this can be customized), and changes on the screen do not require a screen refresh
NO ACTIVEX or PLUGINS, etc. - because it is not java based, the user does not need to install plugins, or to have java components on the machine. A combination of Javascript, XML and C# ASP.NET makes this possible.
For another example about how Ajax works with ASP.NET check http://www.books99.com
NO MEMORY STORAGE for messages, users, rooms; everything gets stored on XML files. This feature allows several chat rooms and even chat applications to run on the same server.
