Google Friend Connect – Allowing our online store vistors to interact with each other… Cool or Bunk?

June 29th, 2009

We’ve installed Google Friend Connect’s social bar in the footer of both our online store and our blog. (the light blue thing at the bottom of all our site’s pages)

It allows the visitors of our site to communicate and be more social with one another through comments and status bar updates.

Please check out www.qualitychopsticks.com or http://blog.qualitychopsticks.com to give it a try and let us know if you think it’s really cool or totally lame and that we should remove it as soon as possible.  You can sign in through a number of different accounts you may already have (gmail, yahoo, etc…).

Looking forward to your feedback!

We’ve got Live Chat via Google ChatBack!

June 28th, 2009

After a full day of testing all the different live chat options available online these days, we ended up stumbling across the Google ChatBack feature of Google Talk.  It wasn’t the easiest feature of Google Talk to find, but it is was EXACTLY what we were looking for.

Check out the Google help page discussing it:
