Cool way to "talk" on the Optiboard

[Chad Huber]

Hey everybody,

I just thought I'd share an idea I had. (quit groaning!) I downloaded this little program called "Odigo" that lets you talk to people who are surfing the same websites as you are. So the way I see it instead of making Steve risk divorce by trying to create a hack that would allow us to "call" each other into the chat room....whoever was interested could just download this program (it's free and took about 2 mins to d/l)
and while we are reading posts on the Board we could say hello or ask a question. It runs in the background and is not only easy to use, but it doesn't take much memory for the 'ole puter.

Thought I would pass it along....the address is www.odigo.com (http://www.odigo.com)

Have fun and make sure you say hello if you "see" me cruising the Optiboard!

Hey Go-Go Gadget,

Chad did you see that post I put up a week or two ago on www.phonefree.com (http://www.phonefree.com) .. it works fairly well as well.. not puter to puter at a web sight but works like a phone.. you can even call computer to phone!! without signing off :)
I'll go in search of your program as well .. any new toy I can tinker with I like, just don't tell my wife :rolleyes:
If you run across any other tinker toys be sure and "share" ..wouldn't want to have to call Darris and make him put you in the corner! :)
BTW thank Darris for those tips for the "job market" out your way, I passed them along and it's all up to my nephew on what he does with it ..oh to be 19 and foot loose and fancy free again :) ta ta....

Wow, what a huge thing this Odigo could be....Judging by the responses it'll be Jeff and I talking to each while surfing the Optiboard...LOL
I guess there aren't a whole passel of "early adopters" like Jeff and myself out there ;)
Either that or no one wants to talk to either of us....hmmm, I'll prefer to think the former.

And I love PhoneFree too, I've used it at home for awhile, I think I downloaded it here too, but this thing has a massive Hardrive so I always forget what I have on here. (unlike at home, where I have to delete two files to make room for each new one)
I too am a sucker for the "toys" (get your minds out of the gutter!!! You people are supposed to be professionals! ;)
I have to have all the newest gadgets and download all of the "Time saving, wish Microsoft would've put in Windows" stuff.

Anyway I guess at least a couple of us can say hello in real time, although I saw that you were online a minute ago but didn't see you on Odigo....go figure.

OKay... this sounds great. This is my second visit to this site. I just registered last week. I opened the chat room in one browser and continued looking around in another. Not much luck. I also found an area here where you can see who else is looking through the site and where they are. Didn't do me much good because I couldn't find a way to make contact. I think Odigo sounds great and plan to give it a try. Good find!

ARGHH!!!! I'm experiencing technical difficulties... I can't seem to complete the installation on ODIGO, It's saying something about my proxy settings. And here I thought I was a pretty tech savy person. Anybody care to help me out?

Okay, I'm all set up. My Odigo number is 1213786 for anyone who wishes to correspond.
