I considered the GTalk gadget, but that won't really facilitate group chatting within the website. It's a great way to make available chat to anyone visiting the page, but you'd still need people to share their email in order to chat with each other. One solution, however, that is promising is meebo chat rooms that you can embed on your site. They allow anyone visiting to chat in the room without needing to register... and meebo handles all traffic.
In light of recent news, it would also be nifty if Google bought Twitter and allowed easy integration of Twitter into Google App Engine. Granted, Twitter has some great APIs....
