If you have a blog, online profile or some personal web page, would you like to communicate more with your visitors?
Google have launched a new Google talk feature that lets visitors of your web site chat with you! It is called as 'chatback' because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog or web page, your visitors can talk back to you. They could leave comments, but those are public, and hard to use for real conversation. With chatback, its a real time instant message session.
For example, you can ask authors of blog posts here about your doubts or can provide with your quick questions or suggestions!!
To use chatback, you must have a Google talk account.. but your visitors don't need that. Isn't that amazing? They even don't need to have an email address, nor to have ever used instant messaging.
When the visitors visit your site, they will see a badge similar to the one below, showing your online status (available, busy, idle, offline). And, if you are available, they can just click and start chatting.
try this out!
Technically speaking, chatback uses web-based google talk gadget so your visitors don't need to download anything. It opens in a new window so that they can keep on chatting even if they navigate to other pages.
The chatback is not just for the blogs. you can use it on any web page where you are allowed to add HTML code. To get started, visit the chatback start page. Just copy the provided HTML snippet and add it to your web page. Visitors will then see a badge on your site indicating your availability and can click to start chatting with you. If some point in time you don't want to get distracted, just set your online status to 'busy' and visitors won't be able to chat with you, until you change your status back to 'available'.
