Windows live messenger is a great tool to enable Live Chat on you web-site.

It will enable the the visitor of your site to chat with you.

The major benefits of Windows Live Messenger over Google Talk Chatback Badge are as follows:

1. No system compatibility issue. ( Google Talk Chatback Badge Requires Min Flash 8 on both the machines, the site visitor's machine and your machine).
2. Chat from same window as site.( Google Talk Chatback Badge will open new window with flash messenger).
3. Site Visitor need not to wait for your approval to chat with you. ( Google Talk Chatback Badge will wait for your approval to make the visitor chat with you).
4. You will receive the chats in your messenger window itself. ( Google Talk Chatback Badge will open a new flash messenger once you accept the chat invitation of site user).

Now, doesn't it sound interesting?
