I don't think that Geocities allows a chat server to run on their
server, so you have the opportunity left to set up a list of active
chatters per CGI-skript (if allowed) and write a Java Applet that every
user ddownloads and they communicate to each other (therefore they have
to be trusted by the user or a SecurityException will occur). However,
it will be quite difficult to install your own chat system on a server
not administrated by you, but depending on the Dynamic-page and Java
options Geocities offers it can be more or less difficult. I'd use
Geocities Chat-system
