ChatBack Badge is a ueseful tool provided by google, to be used to chat live with the visitors of your website.
You must start by making an google account and after that you have to create a badge at http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New
I encoutered some limitations and some problems with ChatBack badge, so I decided to make this litle application.
The problem was that very often, on IE and on Google Chrome, the badge shown an error message "Not Found"
.
To solve this problem, I have made a custom link but by using this I had to change mannualy on the sites my status.
This application solves
the problem by offering you the posibility to set a link to be accesed whe the aplication is opening
and a link to be accesed when the application
is closing (by user or by windows).
Other problem was that when a visitor click on the badge, you have to click in google talk application the link to access
the badge and after that to click to another link. This makes a delay in your response.
This application can be set to start with windows and you will have an icon near the clock in the taskbar.
