Chat Live with Google Talk ChatBack on Your Site

By on February 26, 2008 in Conversations, Cool Tools with 5 Comments

Life Rocks 2.0 shares a bit on adding a Google Talk chatback badge directly on your site.

Before I put this widget permanently on my sidebar, I think I’ll just post about it here.

My initial reaction is, "Great, now I can talk with everyone." But right behind it is, "Ut-oh, how will I be able to talk with everyone."

When I was a Community Manager at AOL, it seemed that I always had at least 10 IMs going at one time — and I got more work done when I shut down IMs.  We’ll see what happens.

You can get your own Google Talk chatback badge with a simple copy & paste of some code.

Update: There are FAQs in the Google Talk Help area. Of course, you’ll need GTalk to put this on your site, but your readers will not.

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    No thanks on google chat on my site, but twitter live on the site would be nice. I think I’ll go look for just that option. http://www.twitter.com/daltonsbriefs

    Google Chat options seem to be getting better and better! This seems quite cool and would be interesting to get a review from you once used. Does it give away your email address though if you put it up or just give you the ability to chat?

    >Dalton – Twitter has a few widgets to plugin to a sidebar, but I don’t know of one that will update on a stream (w/o refreshing your browser). Great Twidea, though:-)
    >Troy – First few went great. I’ve had a few telemarketers already though!
    >BMJ – doesn’t look like the gmail address is in the code (I don’t really use GMail as an email account – so I didn’t look too hard).
