There’s been good feedback from the quickly growing userbase which we appreciate a lot. Please, submit more and report bugs, we do it for you for free.

We just integrated chuPPo Chat to Facebook. Feel free to check out here: http://apps.facebook.com/chuppochat/. The installation is very basic so far but we’ll add more facebook-ish functionality shortly (like friends) to make this installation specifically useful for Facebook.

The good thing about this integration is that we constantly tweak user interfaces and make a lot of minor fixes everywhere. With the fact that chuPPo uses the unified codebase, it makes all chuPPo installations on the web better on a daily basis.

Thus, we put chuPPo Chat on Facebook to reach a broader audience of users with the purpose of receiving more feedback. Thus we can react accordingly and make chuPPo better.

Feel free to have your say.

SkaDate gave birth its new release with all chuPPo applications integrated. SkaDate is the first software vendor to have completely adopted chuPPo gadgets.

There’s a good reason for it, because SkaDate Unity is a social networking software package, so chuPPo presense in it makes most sense possible. Smart move by SkaDate and more chances to taste chuPPo.

SkaDate customers start flowing in…

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.
