Bing bong: Live chat with Ewan, right now. Unless I'm asleep.

I was having a play with LivePerson and thought I might as well stick it up and see how it works here on SMS Text News.

So if you’re reading this in a browser, you’ll see a picture of me on the right of this screen. If I’m awake and operational, you’ll be able to click the image and it’ll pop up a private chat window.

I think it’s neat.

BING BONG.

Every time someone enters the site, one of my computers plays a BING BONG sound, as though the virtual SMS Text News shop door has just opened. It’s been getting a bit annoying as I keep stopping whatever I’m doing to go and peer at you all.

One chap’s been clicking across the site for 26 minutes so far. It’s quite fascinating. He did a Google search on no alarm sound reminders on the treo and found the Vodafone Treo 750 MicrosoftHell post where he’s no doubt been reading all the seething comments from other Treo users.

Come in, come in!

I’ve had LivePerson on for about two hours this evening whilst I’ve been working. Alas, only one person has initiated a chat with me (Thanks Jeb!) so far.

If you see me online, say hi. You don’t need to have a reason.

I’ll switch it off if I’m sleeping or out at a meeting. And if the bingbonging gets too annoying or the page-load becomes an issue, I’ll dump it. Meantime, don’t be a stranger!
