Live chat software
« on: May 05, 2011, 03:14:51 PM »
Do any kind folks have any recommendations for good live chat software? Thinking of giving live chat a whirl on a few affiliate sites to make them look slightly less affiliatey and maybe do a bit of the old hard sell.

A few came to mind like -

http://www.olark.com/
http://livehelp.stardevelop.com/

etc

Cheers.

I just put some live chat software on one of my sites yesterday and ended up doing a link deal on it today :)

It's a trial though - came across it as wordpress plugin  http://www.livechatinc.com/en/ seems pretty swish

What are you guys using for? Is it worth the effort dealing with support or do you actually make sales?
