Looking Out From the Garage: Do you Plugoo?

Do you Plugoo?

I just thought I'd pass along something I've been playing with on my blog for a couple of days (which is why you may have seen it appear or disappear on the site).

It's called Plugoo.

It is a plug-in that let's me chat you a viewer on my blog.  It will send a message from my website, as you view it, to me via Yahoo IM.  The nice thing is that you get to keep your anonymity.  I don't get your Yahoo ID, unless you choose to share.  

But, if you have any questions or need any further information, and I'm online, I can answer you directly.  Also, if you are surfing the site while we are chatting, you can disconnect the chat window from the site to make it easier to surf around. 

Hopefully I'll be able to deploy this on GarageHomesUSA.com soon as well.   

For my friends here on Active Rain, feel free to visit Plugoo to get one for your site.  It's pretty cool... now we need to see if it works to increase conversions from the site.

Sounds neat, thanks for sharing, I'll have to look into this when I get some time.  I guess I'll have to bookmark this one.

Have you compared it to Mebo? I've been using Mebo and the only thing I don't like about Mebo is I have to keep the Mebo website open. I used to use HelpOnClick and may go back to it. It had a fee but it was a small fee and tons of plusses. I could also let my staff members jump in on the conversation and I could "transfer a chat" to one of them which was really cool. But it wasn't free.

Lane - Thanks for sharing.  It is great that there are so may choices out there.

Michael - Took me about 10 minutes to get set up... but putting in the wrong Yahoo IM made me take some extra time... 

Ken - I haven't used Mebo, but I don't have to be on any site.  I just have to have Yahoo IM open.  I can be in on 5 conversations at one time.  I don't think I can transfer, unless that is built into Yahoo.  It also works with GoogleTalk, MSN chat, AOL, and some others.  

Mary - You're Welcome.  

Jennifer - Too many choices sometimes, but that's better than being stuck with junk.

I've been using Meebo for about a year myself and have only had one contact in that entire year. Lots of people on the site while I've been watching, but no contact via the IM.

Interesting concept.  I will spend some time to see if it will work for me.

Todd - I am not willing to spend money, but if I'm already online... It's worth a rip. 

Carolyn - Best of luck.
