Most SL chat takes place on IRC (that's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC Internet Relay Chat]). You can either use a computer based client to log in to IRC (like [[olpc:XOirc|XOirc]], [http://www.pidgin.im/ Pidgin], [[wikipedia:X-Chat|X-Chat]]) or [http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=eca51beb20994623b5ce425dacc8511f&server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23sugar&noServerNotices=true&noServerMotd=true&autoConnect=true chat online here].
