Return to Pibb Chat
Firstly, if you have been wondering what the heck 
means… here ya go!
Is what is called a Single Sign On (SSO) initiative. It’s main goal is to create one username and password, managed by a “Provider” (my provider is myOpenID.com,) and other sites you want accounts on use your provider to verify your identification… creating you an account without you actually having to invent a new username and password (that you’ll likely forget in two days anyway.) Oh, and this whole system is build not on a username, but a URL (a website address.) The website you want to register/login to asks for your OpenID URL, you enter it, your provider asks you for your login info (this usually only happens the first time you start surfing for that period) and if you provide the info and say it’s ok, your provider tells the requesting site you’re Good to Go! It sounds more complicated than it is, and I truly invite you to click the logo above and read a better explanation.
Anyway, That’s what it’s for. It’s in it’s infant stages right now, but I see the internet going that way in the future.
Alright, now Pibb.
Pibb is basically an all-in-one communication site that provides beautiful looking software applets you can add to your website. I chose to use them, well, because they are cool looking, stable, and don’t fill up your screen with advertisements. All you have to do is go to their site here and sign up for an account. The cool thing about Pibb is that not only do they accept OpenID, but AIM screen names and livejournal usernames are supported as well.
You will have to login to Pibb whenever you want to use this new chat room, but it’s not to much of a hassle, specially if you use an OpenID.
Anymore questions? Drop me a line on the Support Form and I’ll answer you the best I can.
Thanks!
Matt
