Here's some options for Google:

Google Friend Connect doesn't have a huge amount of uptake, but does have a page widget: http://www.google.com/friendconnect/

And YouTube has a Video Bar: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/videobar.html

And Buzz has an API that you can use through pure JavaScript: http://code.google.com/apis/buzz/buttons_and_gadgets.html

But... just because you can doesn't mean you should. Think about this in terms of value to your site's visitors. Don't do it just to be cool.

There are 2 social application from Facebook that can be used as chat/comments box.

Comments :

This is a basic comment box where people will be able to add comments.

Live Stream :

The easiest way to make those work on your page is to download and use the Javascript SDK of Facebook. It's pretty easy to use. You can set up those in few hours without problem.
