The WhoIsLive Plug-In Lets You Chat With Anyone on Any Website

— July 27, 2011 — Unique
I can't decide exactly how I feel about the new WhoIsLive plug-in. WhoIsLive lets you chat on any website on the Internet with anyone else who has the plug-in regardless of if you know them or not.

The WhoIsLive plug-in is probably the only plug-in that could go from awesome to awkward in a matter of seconds. The plug-in is awesome because it lets you meet people who are into the same sites as you are and converse with them in real-time. The plug-in could also lead to some awkward situations as you try to explain to you your significant other why you were visiting a porn website or to your boss as to why you were checking up on your fantasy football team during work hours. WhoIsLive is available for download now and is currently available for FireFox and Internet Explorer (eight and higher) with a Chrome version in the works.
Trend Themes
1. Real-time Web Chat - WhoIsLive's plug-in enables real-time web chat with individuals across any website, presenting opportunities for interactive customer engagement and community building.
2. Website-based Networking - WhoIsLive allows users to connect and chat with like-minded individuals based on shared interests on any website, opening possibilities for niche community building and targeted marketing.
3. Privacy and Security in Online Communication - With the WhoIsLive plug-in raising concerns about potential awkward situations, there is an opportunity for developing innovative solutions that address privacy and security issues in online conversations.
Industry Implications
1. Social Media - The real-time web chat trend fueled by WhoIsLive can prompt social media platforms to incorporate similar features, enhancing user engagement and expanding networking capabilities.
2. E-commerce - Implementing real-time web chat functionality similar to WhoIsLive can revolutionize customer support and sales assistance, providing consumers with instant guidance during their online shopping experiences.
3. Cybersecurity - The concerns raised by the WhoIsLive plug-in call for innovative cybersecurity solutions that protect user privacy and prevent potential mishaps from occurring during online conversations.
