I've tested quite a few bits of Web 2.0 innovation lately. The one I'm most impressed with and that's generated the most talk is the Yahoo! Pingbox installed on the right side of this blog, under the Blogroll. That's right! You just need to scroll a bit down and look where it says "Christian Nasulea, Available" to see it.
Sure, I've seen plenty of other web chat applets and scripts before but this one connects directly to my Yahoo! Messenger account. This means I don't need to install any additional software or change my online habits in any way in order to be able to interact directly with my website's visitors.
If you'd like to help me test it further click on Nickname and write your name. Thanks to Mum, Gabi and Florin for helping me so far.
If you've got a website or blog of your own the Yahoo! Pingbox is definitely a component worth considering.
There are however a few possible counterpoints that will certainly come up in the debates to follow. One is the potential loss of comment traffic, as some people might be inclined to contact you directly instead of commenting on your blog posts. The other is the potential loss in labour productivity generated by a website owner being interrupted incessantly by visitors to the website.
