Click to chat on your site

hab.la works with your IM client

A couple of weeks ago we went to the TechNow 09 event in Royal Oak, Michigan.  It was a conference, presenting and promoting information and technology based business / entrepreneurs in Michigan.  One of the presenters was hab.la, a company that has created a great method of providing click to chat technology on your website.

Now, there are a lot of click to chat services out there…so what makes hab.la different?  Well, for one, the service is free.  For another, and this is most important to me, their service connects directly to your IM client, whatever it may be.  I use iChat on my mac, and the hab.la service connects directly to iChat.  This way I don’t have to download and install yet another desktop client on my mac, nor do I have to have a web browser open at all times in order to have the click to chat functionality available on our website.

A really great feature of hab.la is also the fact that my iChat shows when someone enters my site, and if they click to chat with me, I can see as they move from page to page within the site, allowing me to know what they are looking at as I chat with them.

If you are looking for a click to chat system for your site, definitely check them out at http://hab.la.  You can also follow them on Twitter at twitter.com/hablagroup.
