OmniUpdate wishes all our customers and friends a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
I'm using a version of PHPLive I've been customizing for the past few years. Although I've used the meebome widget before too. The nice thing about it is that if no one is online to answer the chat it prompts them to leave a message.
Our library staff initiated adding live chat and have had a good success with it. Now the admissions folks are interested in doing something similar. The real challenge is, of course, people managing the responses. The technology is fairly straigh...

If anyone needs an invite, let me know. I have several I won't need.
A group for those interested in usability principles, practices, and testing.
How are you using it? Where are you using it? How are you making it degrade gracefully? What are you doing to make sure applications remain accessible?
A group to discuss coding that impacts page layout and functionality such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Share and discuss issues that focus on user-centered design.
I also have to agree with Michal here. The purpose of Facebook is one thing but I do not think it should be used for other purposes. And I back that with Chris, by saying there is a place for that and possible the homepage could be used for that p...
Unfortunately here at UT we have had to deal with this issue more than we would like to in the last three months. We had a student murdered walking home late from a party in August, a student killed in a hit and run on Friday, and another 3 studen...

But we are encouraging people to include tags when they publish content, so as to make their pages more findable and, yes, to make it easier for everyone to find related content.
The tags and breadcrumbs are independent. The breadcrumbs simply follow the path back up the tree (our hierarchical menu, not the path created by the visitor), while a tag goes to any content tagged with the same tag.
Not sure if folksonomic tags are what you meant, but those are the tags at the bottoms of our pages. I hope this was helpful!
