Live Chat support in my website

Question

Hi, I just wanted to know if there is any (preferently freeware) solution to provide live chat support in my website, but connected to a Live Messenger account, because I would like to answer by this way... Thanks!

Answer 1

I'm not sure there's any easy way to do this with Live Messenger.

If you can use Yahoo! Messenger instead of Live Messenger, they provide a nice easy free widget which does what you want, called Yahoo! Messenger Pingbox.

Answer 2

You can try MeeboMe (http://www.meebo.com/meebome/) or eBuddy embed (http://www.ebuddy.com/in_your_website.php). They provide widget to be embed in your webpage to chat with you.

Cheers, Andy.

Answer 3

If you are using ASP.Net and OK with using Silverlight, you can look into this flexible option. It is a Polling duplex solution easy to implement. For PHP Chantlive is an option.

Answer 4

I think I'll try Windows Live Messenger Web Toolkit to develop my white-labeled solution, but thanks to all of you guys!
