Just a quick note of news:

1) chuPPo Chat has become lightweight due to its transition to Flex 3 framework. Now it will load faster than before thus improving users’ experience.

2) Due to numerous requests we have implemented “video in pop-up” feature. Now if you look at someone’s video in chuPPo Chat you can not only put it to video dock but also open it in a separate popup window – this makes it possible to resize the video without interfering with chat interface.

Feel free to check at chuPPo Chat demo.

We are glad to introduce chuPPito – a small object for engaging users into your running copy of chuPPo Chat. It’s a variable size widget that reflects what’s currently going on in your chat rooms.

You can place this widget anywhere on your site, for example on index page. You can set your own custom widget size to make it fit your page layout. This can be a great little tool to engage your customers in your site activity.

An improtant notice to SkaDate users: chuPPito will be integrated with the next SkaDate update but you can have it in advance. All others chuPPo Chat users, feel free to make inquiries for chuPPito installation assistance.

This particular chuPPito object is connected to chuPPo webcam chat software demo by simply indicating its URL in connection parameters. Feel free to look at this post page source to find out how to install it yourself. We’ll follow up with more detailed installation instructions on chuPPo.com.

Facebook installation of chuPPo Chat has been updated. We activated the new skin, and added long awaited invite friends feature. Now, with custom user-created rooms and friends invitations this Facebook application is going to add even more value for its users.

Soon chuPPo Chat will have “friends” feature for all sites. It will mean that the logic of the site will pass relationship between users, so those who are friends will enjoy better placement and visibility for each other. This is going to greatly improve user experience on busy sites including Facebook.

Add this app and invite friends if you want to have fun with your Facebook friends online and support chuPPo.

We are glad to announce that chuPPo extends its set of free offers again.

This time we introduce completely free text-only version of chuPPo Chat with unlimited user sessions.

If you go to your admin area statistics page you will see the following:

As you see in the legend, audio/video sessions and text-only sessions are counted separately! This means can use your a/v sessions up to the fullest while being able to switch to text-only mode.

You can switch between a/v and text modes any time in the main settings tab of your admin area. When you are in text mode your sessions are still counted (so you have a good picture of your site usage) and an unobtrusive advertisement banner from chuPPo is shown below the chat.

You don’t have to pay anything, it’s FREE.
You don’t bother about running out of user sessions, it’s UNLIMITED.
You can set it up instantly, it’s COPY&PASTE.

Go use it now. Your feedback and suggestions are greatly welcome.

As you might have noticed we released a new skin for chuPPo Chat.

This skin will be default for all new chuPPo Chat installations, existing customers can activate it in chuPPo admin area.

We think user interface tweaking can never be too much. Together with the skin, chat application has got some minor interface improvements. Feel free to comment if your users like the new app. We are going to clear out and polish every single detail based on what your users say. Since community business is always user-centric, you might want to gather some feedback from your chatters.

Good luck in your endeavors!
