woocall: sina’s new embedded website chat tool
This might be fun, but I can’t get it to work in Chinese on my Mac. : ( I can use the English, however. It’s called woocall (available in both English and Chinese), and has been in beta at Sina for the past few months. Woocall, as Jason reminds me below, is similar to Gabbly: it allows you to talk with other people who are at the same website as you. It was apparently a big hit on Sina’s World Cup page, and is also available to discuss the hit TV show Supergirl. It has its own woocall blog, and describes itself thus:When you are watching the world cup by yourself, are you the only
one in your living room cheering or sulking over a loss with some
liquor? When your favorite television star is killed off on the
silver screen, are you the only one banging on the TV and yelling? When you read about David Beckham’s affair with the nanny, did you hope to yourself that Posh becomes available?
Do you want to talk about it?
Come here to find your worthy adversary on the field of discussion. Instantly exchange information with him on your topic of choice. Feed off the passion and fervor of whom you talk to.
You can put it on your own website by inserting a few lines of code. The blog says it would good for the following kinds of sites:
1. Sports websites, during online direct broadcasts of matches.
2. News sites, during special events or on sections that will be viewed by a lot of people, such as giving a name to a panda.
3. Popular games, giving players another way to communicate.
4. On sites for popular movies or TV shows.
5. Question and answer sites.
6. Online commerce sites.
7. Personal blogs, so people reading it can chat about it with one another in real time.
8. Opinion sites, to discuss the merits of a new cellphone together, for instance. You could even arrange collective buying trips.
9. Online learning, for instance to practice English together while on an English learning site.
10. Online health sites, perhaps to chat with experts and ask questions directly.
11. All kinds of BBS, where people can discuss popular topics and issues.
12. Online books and reviews. You could discuss a particular book with others.
