Cost of adding chat rises for some sites

Article Abstract:

The price for adding chat capabilities to World Wide Web sites has increased for small- and mid-sized sites, but dropped for large ones. A 63% increase for a chat area was noted for a small Web site, while a chat program for a mid-sized site posted a price hike of 55%. In contrast, the median price for installing a real-time chat program to a large site declined by 17% to $41,500. However, marketers are still divided over the issue of chat software, with some recommending chat applications and some believing that it is not always necessary.
