We will be making it customizable in the future so the chat "greeting" is more welcoming and personalized. </p> <p>I'm seeing a lot of people on Twitter talking about using it on their site to just invite people to come by and chat, enter contests by chatting, and giving interactive feedback in one on one consultations and discussions. At least one person said they were using it with one-on-one consultation, guiding the person through their website as they talked about their project. Fascinating!</p> <p>Look forward to a lot of improvement on this feature, especially as we learn more how people are using it. </p> <p>We will be adding badges and helpful alerts, and even a way to have a visitor alert the webmaster they wish to chat from the site in future versions. </p> <p>Indeed, it's a new world with Woopra.

When we were done he responded "Chat anytime!"</p> <p>A few days ago I saw a visitor from a town a friend of mine works in. I assumed it was him since the person had been to the site 30 or 40 times.

A nice looking person at the door greets you an welcomes you into the store. You begin to browse down an isle looking at bags. In a few minutes, that same person wanders over and says, "Let me know if I can help you find something." You respond that you're looking for one to hold your 17inch mac book. She says, "Oh, these here will fit, and all these over here."</p> <p>Is that intrusive? Was she invading your privacy as she walked over to where she saw you standing?</p> <p>No, that not privacy invasion, it's just good business. No different than real time analytics and a helpful chat.</p> <p>Now, if she planted a bug on you to record where you went after you left the store.. that's privacy invasion. Just like malicious spyware.</p> <p>Now if only the mac books had the required version of java to run woopra! </p> http://www.woopra.com/forums/topic/chatting-with-visitors#post-2867 Sun, 08 Jun 2008 07:48:36 +0000 elpie 2867@http://www.woopra.com/forums/ <p>I'm not sure I would just pop up to say "Hi" but I can see potential for using this for live support.
