chat software

We need cross between Instant Messaging and a Chat Room for a dating website. A member can see which other nominated friends are online and open up an Instant Message screen to any chosen friend like in MS Messenger or AOL AIM. They can have one to one conversations (like a private chat room) and they can also invite their other online friends into that conversation moving towards a chat toom type scenario. This would include the standard features such as emoticons etc. You can select who can talk to you or invite you to a chat session.
