How to Add Yahoo Chat box Into your blog: PingBox

Year back I have written about Pingbox Yahoo service which will let you add a widget into your blog and your readers can interact with you live via yahoo messenger and widget on your blog.

Though now few users talk about this service and I find this service very useful bloggers who are online on yahoo messenger and looking forward to interact with their readers in real time.

This tutorial will help you to grab HTML code which you need to add into your blog widget and when ever you are online on yahoo messenger, users can interact with you live.

Step by step guiding to add Yahoo chat box into your Website/blog:

Go to yahoo Pingbox site and click on Create a Pingbox.

You need to login to your Yahoo account to get the code for your yahoo messenger ID.

On the next screen, you can customize and give a layout to your widget. You can select from many templates available and select name which you want to show to your readers.

Click on save and you will be served with code which you can quickly add it into your site. You can customize the widget size and add it into your blog quickly.

I believe this is very simple. I can see two-three smart usage of this tool for bloggers. You can set a time on every weekend and you can add this widget into your blog and can take readers questions and feedbacks. This will work for blogs which has a community around it. For service blog, it is a great tool, since users can ask any questions directly.

Though usage are unlimited, only thing is you need to think out of the box. I would love to see what idea you can come up with as practical usage of this tool.
