Add Messenger to your blog or website

Just found this and thing that it is amazingly cool! How would you like to have a messenger app on your profile where you can let people reading your blog to chat to you via MSN??? Well now you can!

When I first heard back at MIX:UK that there would be a function avaliable to do this I imagined it being extremly codie with the need of web servies or something similar. How happy was I when I found out itsa simple embedding of generated text.

To do this all you need to do is alter your Messenger Settings and this will give you the code that you can then copy and paste anywhere that you would like to use it.

The code for mine is as follows:

<iframe src="http://settings.messenger.live.com/Conversation/IMMe.aspx?invitee=62e234c77f89fa18@apps.messenger.live.com&mkt=en-GB" width="300" height="300" style="border: solid 1px black; width: 300px; height: 300px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>


**** THIS CODE WILL NOT WORK FOR YOUR OWN LIVE ID ONLY MINE ****

You can also alter the access rights for messenger so that annonymous visitors can send you messages.

When I first heard of this functionallity for Live Messenger it was for buisness prospects, imagine that you log onto an online store and either need specialist advice or help with your purchase you will be able to use this messenger app to talk to a person involved with the store. One of the major concerns that was voiced about was surly you would then give away your email etc. but now that there is the access rights, you would just be able to log on as an annonymous user and the company wouldnt know any personal information about you.

Urm... imagine ordering pizza via Messenger :-p

I think that this is a really cool app and can't wait to get some messengers off blog readers.
