What's Remote Chat and How Do I Use It?
You don't have to be logged into Bonanzle to know what people are saying about your stuff. By setting up remote chatting, you can listen and respond to questions and comments about your items via Instant Messenger.
Once you have set up remote chatting, you will instantly receive messages that people send from within your booth, and any message you send from your instant messenging program will show up in your booth for all to see.
As an added bonus, we consider any user who is logged into remote chat to be "online", meaning your booth gains visibility amongst search results (and the home page) whenever your Instant Messenger is turned on and logged into Bonanzle.
How do I set it up?
Installation instructions for each Instant Messenging program follow.- Setup remote chat via Gmail
- Setup remote chat via MSN Messenger
- Setup remote chat via AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)
- Setup remote chat via Yahoo! Messenger
- Setup remote chat via all other Jabber-capable programs, like iChat.
