Cool free live chat

[dakz]

Hi guys,
I have been looking for a free live chat application to provide support to my visitors. After trying several apps I found one that does all I want (and more...it even has GeoTracking!).
You might find it useful: http://www.livezilla.net

Thanks Dakz!

I use "another one" and never really liked it.

Will check this one out more.

I see some posts about the banners being branded but how hard
can that be.

For me, I don't want anyone "paging me" so I use 1px .gif to get the
tracking and if "I" wan't to help someone, I will page them ;)

I also did a little work to integrate the cookies so I could see member names without ever having had chatted with them.

I'll pass on whatever I do.

Nice find!

Thanks Dakz, I gave up on finding a free solution for that and was ready to pay for something with a bit less features than this one.

Seems to be everything I could be looking for and more. I'll check it out. Nice find indeed.

Hi guys,
I have been looking for a free live chat application to provide support too. Something openSource, for Linux-family Web Server, PHP and with localisation feature,
but
it seems that LiveZilla is for Windows based server only :mad:
Any ideas?

Hello,

No, it's not windows server based ;)

They use the term "Server" to mean where the data and script live as opposed to a site with just tracking code.

It DOES use windows based installer and a windows based client
so the chat / support is done on your end from windows.

Think AIM or Yahoo chat as "your" client app and all the rest is on
your *AMP server.

Looks like a great tech support chat tool that could be displayed on the front page! Thanks dakz!

Hi There,

I use this one: <a href='http://www.comm100.com/?p_pId=50078&p_mType=2&p_mId=70'>Online Support Solutions</a>

I first thought there is a catch... but it integrates
Life chat, ticket system (also catches e-mails and puts them into the system), newsletter, forum and knowledgebase very nicely. And it is hosted. I'm very satified with this and use it for all my projects, so I have the customer support all in one place.

Best, Eru

Hi,
By far the best Live chat for free on the web today is Zopim.com
It is free for low volume or pay next to nothing
very easy to customize and use

Cheers
