Via Joi Ito, we learn how to connect /directly/ to our website
visitors without having to run our own server or demand bizarre
special software. All it takes is a link to one small Flash
application ... and just about /everyone/ already has Flash:

Use Chatango to connect with people faster, respond to buyers
quicker than other sellers on eBay, and speed up your email
responses into real time.

Sign up now to get your free contact link. When your friends click
it, they can chat with you instantly. Or, put the smart Chatango
buttons into your ads and sites to let people know when you are
online. The visitors can also leave you offline message when you
are away.

Better still, embed the new Chatango MINI in your eBay auctions,
blogs, and websites, and exeprience the convenience of zero-click,
in-page instant communications.
