this is the 9th day of our trial with meebo. the first week the meebo box was on the Koelbel page and while we had fun with our colleagues who were willing guinea pigs to test it for us we heard nary a thing from our public.
the second week we expanded to add the box on the research databases page, thinking that there would be some interaction with the public, but so far its a quiet quiet internet world!
in all, it was a good experiment to test the software, to see how to deploy it, to figure out how to staff it (it feels like having a puppy you need to watch over constantly!)
anyone else into IM'ing? for what reasons? using what software? in what website?

I really like IMing - it's non-intrusive (not like a ringing phone!), but lets you easily pick the brains of a coworker without causing noise disruption. It's faster than email much of the time. You can see when they're online with IM, and can expect to get a fairly quick response. Especially helpful when staff is on different floors or in completely different buildings. If what you need seems to take more time than a few back-&-forth IMs, then you can call.
