Exclusive Seedcamp coverage from toksta

As I will take off to Seedcamp tomorrow (Michael is already in London), I just wanted to remind everyone that you can follow us through the usual suspects: Twitter (toksta) of course and our Blog.

We will do our best to meet and also (video-) interview as many of the great mentors (e.g. Nikklas Zennstrom, Michael Birch or Loic Le Meur - just to name a few) as possible and keep you posted. So stay tuned…

Question: What tools will you use?

Looks like a whole lot of Online-Advertising-built-on-MySQL ;-)

new release, new features

Hey everybody, just a short update: We have been really busy working on a new release which is up and running since last week. Now, the profile picture from the community is displayed in the IM as well as in the chat requests.

The friends and ignore lists from the community can also be integrated automaticially in the IM. This is an optional feature because many people believe that you don’t want the same friends in your IM friend list which you have in your community…well, what does that mean? ;-)

Furthermore we enhanced our API and tuned the design customization. As a user you have the possibility to hide your webcam symbol, see when your chat partner is writing you a message etc. etc.

A complete list of our features is here.

Just check it out and give us feedback (support |at| toksta |dot| info)!

Looking forward to it…
