You could grab Olark, embed it using out setinline option: http://www.olark.com/community/discussion/12 and toss an XMPP chatter bot behind it :-) http://mail.python.org/pipermail/bangpypers/2008-January/000... Cheers, Ben

We used the prioritization feature. Wow, I just noticed it on the website. That's a pain. Maybe we'll have to move back to pivotal tracker.

I highly recommend http://www.olark.com -- but I am biased. If you already use an IM program, it's hard to beat being able to monitor visitors right in your buddy list.

Hi Dan, I think you gave Olark before we had solved some of the issues for larger sites. When your in the 150 visitor range it doesn't make as much sense to let you monitor all your visitors in your buddy list -- so we now let you turn t

Do you also block Google Analytics?

I'd like to understand more of your concerns. Olark just help website owners take the information they already have about you (and that you gave to them), and use it to provide better service. So if your logged into a website and ask a ques

Perhaps the article doesn't have enough detail in it. But it sounds like ISPs were just sniffing HTTP packets for usernames and passwords. It doesn't sound like a directed attack on facebook, though perhaps it was a session replay attack.

Hey Josh, Looks really cool. I am not sure if you have launched officially yet, but if your interested in using Olark ( http://www.olark.com ) to talk to some of your early visitors, to help them through your signup process send me an em

You could plug your bot into Olark, it speaks XMPP, I'd be pretty interested to see how well it does.

Has anyone done the cost equations? And I'd imagine migration is a bitch on dedicated hosting.

Running a hosting company was actually a pretty profitable business back in the 90s. (It probably still can be if you have a really solid niche). I should write some blog posts on our experience (there were many positives).

I guess what I was trying to say was don't worry about over scaling. But take some time to make sure you aren't over scaling for 6 months in a row :-). So I'd argue. for #3 3) Don't stress out about the minimal resources necessary from day

http://www.olark.com/portal/tour.html gives you a pretty good idea of what you can do with Olark. I think the biggest difference between Olark and the similar competition is that you get to see the visitors to your website in your buddy

I ran a hosting company on the side for about 10 years before starting http://www.Olark.com . Basically, hosting is pretty much a commodity right now, and big companies are willing to spend upwards of $100 to acquire a single virtual host
