"Userplane, the IM and chat service that was acquired by AOL, is launching Minichat through the new Webchat 2 (an upgrade to their chat application).  The service launches officially tomorrow, but appears to be live.\nMinichat is a mini embeddable chat tool that displays a preview of live chat that's taking place within Userplane's Webchat 2 (the chat on your website).  This can display one line of text or the entire conversation, and is customizable for different skin colors and sizes.  Place it in your MySpace, hi5 or Piczo profiles, or your personal website or blog to drive people to your Userplane-powered chat.  Site visitors can see the live conversation and join directly from this preview window if they'd like, without having to launch a separate chat application in a new window.\nWe've mentioned Userplane's ad revenue-sharing program previously (free chat tools if you are prepared to split ad revenue with them), and Minichat is no different.  Publishers and webmasters can allow text ads in order to participate in a revenue split with Userplane.  \nIn other Userplane news, its most recent announcement was regarding its revenue-sharing model for Facebook app developers.\nDisclosure: Userplane is a Mashable sponsor.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
