Just got done with a brief IM conversation with Susan at NLC - making my completion of Thing #5 official. IM is nothing new to me; it's something I've done off and on over the years. But it's not something I do regularly for personal use. Usually at home I'm only at the computer if I have something specific I want to get done, and then I don't usually want to be interrupted by an IM.
I did the setup of Lincoln City Libraries' Meebo Widget (though I'm not one of the staff who does the day-to-day hands-on use of it). One thing about Meebo Widgets that Allana didn't mention in her post is that you can put them on multiple pages for the same Meebo account. So besides the one on the page linked above, we also have one on the front page of our site, scaled to fit the space available. (You'll probably have to scroll down a bit to find it; the exact placement of it varies depending on how much stuff is going on at the library at the time). Our original intention was to also have it show up on some of our OPAC pages as per David Lee King's suggestion. It turned out that this worked fine for off-site users, but it didn't work for our in-library patrons because the Widget didn't like the proxy server that our OPAC computers are behind.
