With this new plug-in, you will be able to chat with customers live on your company webpages. This had my mind swimming with possibilities for both business and personal applications.
As a university fundraiser and past admissions officer, I immediately thought of 5 ways we could use this technology in higher education.
1. Admissions officers could chat with prospective students as they explore the college/university website.
2. Advisers could help students explore majors and class requirements while perusing deparmental webpages.
3. Fundraisers and alumni relations officers could hold chats around new faculty research, student accomplishment, community engagement articles.
4. Professors could hold chats around websites being explored by a class.
5. Administrators could hold live chats around major announcements while concurrently unveiling the webpage article.
No longer would you have to past the article into Twitter or Facebook or Google+ and hope your constituents saw it. You could have them "meet" you on the site where you could share the article and discuss it in real-time. You are able to share what's important and get immediate feedback.
What other ideas do you have? What industry are you in and what could you do with this technology? How might you apply it personally?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Karl, thanks for sharing these excellent ideas! We think that people will create many exciting and useful applications with the Tokkster platform for a wide range of industries.
ReplyDeleteI can think of numerous times in the past when I could have used Tokkster to gather more information about products that I had considered purchasing.
Tokkster should also be helpful for people who are looking for information or advice in the travel, healthcare and parenting fields.
Chatting and interacting with people who are watching a live sports event or a live concert online together will add an exciting social dimension to these activities.
