I have fooled around in the past with live chat and instant messengers but have not had the response to keep it up live. What has your experience been with this tool Dave?

I have used both and prefer Meebo. I do not use MSN Messenger so the Plugoo features tied to it are moot for me. Meebo is excellent and integrates very well with my wordpress blog. If I am not logged in when someone wants to talk I get the message the next time I log in, which is every day. I can see immediately when someone is at my page and I can actually start a conversation with my site visitors.

Orlando – I’ve been using plugoo for a couple months now and have been messaged maybe 4 or 5 times. I haven’t put it at the very top of the blog, or made a big feature of it. My only problem is remembering to set myself as ‘away’ when I’m not at the computer.

Orlando,

Unless you have a wild number of friends I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve had the live chat on the lab since writing this post and haven’t spent 10 minutes chatting since. I have had a few chats with Realtors with live chat but those are usually very short.

Try it. If your chats are helpful to clients use it. If they are taking up too much of your time. And not contributing to your business you can always turn it off.

I would like to see some more feedback from people that have been using live chat programs in real estate. I really like the features but I am afraid that having the chat online might prohibit me from getting word done.

To Teresa and Maureen, you are tabbers not mousers. I did some testing and found it was the comment spam trap that puts a verify email field on the comment that isn’t tabable if that is a word, so the bots can’t find it, but anyone that types fast and tabs from the keyboard was getting trapped as well.

I’ve removed that spam trap, I’d rather have user friendly comments and use other means to trap spam bots.

BTW, only ladies are trapped, guys tend to type slower and see the mouse as a gadget to use for fun. Ladies, always avoid mice if at all possible, mechanical or organic.

Even though you have hurt my feelings and frustrated me because your blog will not accept my comments i thought I would come by and try again. I am sure that the comment I wrote last night was very clever but it never made it on your blog so this one will have to do.

Plugoo also works on mobile so I can receive chat over my Treo… Meebo doesn’t work without java…

I don’t think I’m adding this yet. I’m seeing it more and more but not sure I want to be that visible.
