Meebo

Ok, I discovered meebo a couple years ago on vacation. Choosing to leave my laptop at home I was at the mercy of a foreign computer without any messengers installed. Low and behold this is when someone showed me meebo.

I think having a MeeboMe widget on our website would be great. I like the idea that a patron can "talk" with a staff member without actually picking up the phone. For a lot of patrons this would actually be an easier way of contacting the library. Just think ... no more using valuable minutes on your cell phone, no background noise interference (screaming kids), can save chat log to refer back to, and the option of not speaking directly to a staff member.
