Promoting your businesses with instant messengers?
Yes, it is possible now. Instant messengers are evolving. From plain text conversations to custom backgrounds and avatars and the voice chat services. New features recently launched by Skype (a little piece of software that lets you make free calls to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world) will give you the capability to search for a local businesses. This features is called SkypeFind basically a collection of businesses listed or reviewed by the Skype community. This might be the next social bookmarking or whatever term is that.
SkypeFind works like a search engine for the users for finding and/or reviewing local businesses. You can also add or edit listings or even post comment to a particular business listed. This is becoming more exciting because the community can increase the listing by adding their business names or sharing businesses and services they’ve tried. They can have their reviews, let others read it and even add reviews to existing businesses posted.
SkypeFind is only available in the latest released of Skype. You can download here and try it out.
