Brokers: We’ve now added the ability for you to embed an instant chat application into each of your rental listings! This will allow prospective renters to instantly (and anonymously) talk to you.
To get your chat application set up, just sign up for a free chat account at either Google Talk (you’ll need a Google account first) or Meebo. Currently, we recommend Meebo as their setup process is a little easier.
After you’ve created your “Google Chatback Badge” or “Meebo Widget”, you’ll be supplied some code which you should cut-and-paste into our system (in the field labeled “Chat Code” under “Accounts” -> “Alerts & Settings”). The last thing to do is download the Google Talk or Meebo Chat client, sign into your account, and you’re all ready to go! For those of you with iPhones, Meebo also has an iPhone-optimized version for you to use when you’re out of the office.
Below is a screenshot that has the Meebo widget embedded (to the right of the listing description):
