What’s New At Userplane
Desktop in Air™
The wait for Mac users is over. Because Desktop is now an Adobe AIR app, it is compatible with both PCs and Macs. But that’s not all. Adobe AIR also offers full HTML. Javascript and Flash support as well as automatic software updates. That means no additional downloads for users. Learn More
Minichat
Minichat is a new, Flex-based version of Webchat 2 that allows for quick placement in a large variety of environments. Learn More
Plugins
Userplane is proud to support the OpenSocial movement. As a result, we introduced plugins for OpenSocial, Facebook, Wordpress, Drupal and phpFoX in November 2007. Now, with the combination of Userplane Plugins and Userplane Money, we can provide an attractive and stable monetization strategy for application developers. Learn More
Hello Userplane!
Switch your chat rooms to Userplane. Unlike other chat providers, our users don’t have to use a separate web recorder to join in on live voice/video chats. Moreover, our publishers enjoy leading-edge features like custom skinning, bundled IM and Minichat. And with Userplane Money, publishers can generate significant revenue from their chat rooms and other Userpalne apps. Make the switch now! Learn More
Ad Network Growth
Although we cannot disclose specific numbers, we have doubled our ad network size since acquisition – and we’re growing fast. I would expect that within a very short time our ad delivery volume will account for a substantial percentage of AOL’s overall ad delivery. In addition, we are working on an expansion to our ad-serving platform that should change the way our inventory is sold. Stay tuned! Learn More
Application Upgrades
All Userplane applications have seen upgrades this year, from expanded skinning options in the Webchat to new versions of our Presence and Desktop application.
