chuPPo Online Webcam Software Blog

Yesterday we integrated Video Messenger into HookUp.com - busy site with hundreds thousand members. We’ve actually had a chance to chat with users right after the integration went live, since there were a lot of people online who tried the new application right away. You need to try it to see how much chuPPo changes an average site. It just makes it hot.

Congrats to both teams for great co-operation start!

We’re currently moving in several directions at once. Last week has been spent on optimizing integration for smoother deployment on client sites. Now, it seems to have reached its perfection point. Now it’s enough to paste a few lines of code into your pages and upload a gateway file to your server. For those installing chuPPo without database integration, pasting code is enough.

We are also currently tweaking user interface to make chuPPo Chat look even simpler and cleaner. Dynamic skins is also on its way, so soon you will be able to see switching chat skins on fly. This opens great opportunities to diversify your user experience and stand unique from the crowd of chat sites.

Finally, we’re launching free chat rooms for consumers. You can chat online with your webcam plugged in, view other users audio/video streaming for free. Go check now.

Folks, high time to twist and shout. chuPPo team showed us 2 new major applications today.

chuPPo Messenger (Instant Messenger, IM) is private 1-on-1 text/webcam chat application for sites willing to benefit from rich media interaction between users. This application has been in demand for awhile, now we’re happy to announce it’s ready to rock!

chuPPo UserOn. Its main use is for detecting online users on site to invoke IM sessions between them and viewing info. This is exactly what you do off-site with ICQ, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger. Now, this tool is available for your own community.

It was fun to have the whole Skalfa eCommerce team jump in and test the new candies back and forth on live demos. Feel free to let us know about problems and your suggestions.

Have a wonderful day.

Right after beta demo put online, we started receiving inquiries from SkaDate customers to have SkaDate integration. Some of them didn’t want to wait for native integration in the next revision.

As a result we got the chat online on several SkaDate-driven websites. It’s funny to see how easily the chat is deployed, and we’ve already felt the benefits of centralized webservice code. Our programmers are damn quick to fix anything, and the changes are going live instantly.

So far, feedback is awesome. Chat is stable, we are working, testing, responding, fixing and having fun.

Thanks.
