"LivePerson Timpani™ Contact Center integrates Chat, E-Mail, Knowledgebase and Voice seamlessly into one application, making it the most cost-effective and ultimate customer support tool in the market," said Arjun Agarwal, the editor of Livechatdir.com. "The recent integration of voice as a click-to-call solution was a key differentiator for LivePerson compared to the competition for this award in 2007."

Livechatdir has also introduced 24/7 live chat support on their website in partnership with LivePerson this year. Visitors researching live chat software can get instant assistance via text chat or voice from Livechatdir.com. "Starting this year, our top pick award winner will be given a chance to assist our customers in setting up live chat and answer their queries directly form our site, provided they had adequate staff to man our site 24/7. LivePerson demonstrated clear ability and we gave them the opportunity."

LiveChatDir 2007 features a clean look, a better interface, and more features such as customer reviews to be added in the coming weeks. For people researching live chat software, www.Livechatdir.com is the most extensive directory and has been growing in popularity every year.
