South Bend, IN, June 13, 2007 — Emil Sarnogoev, Skalfa eCommerce CEO is happy to announce SkaDate Unity — the sixth release of the famous community software package.
“SkaDate Unity is a ‘features’ release,” Emil Sarnogoev says. “We’re excited to offer something that fits our customers and their users even more than the previous version did. We have been satisfying public demand, performed intensive testing, and observed the industry for the last year. Now you can get the results of all this work.”
The technical side of the new release deserves attention because you are safe from the usual stability issues of all new releases. The platform is not new just made even more stable with new features by twelve dedicated full time programmers and testers.
“SkaDate SuccessPoint, the previous version, was a huge success due to its stability and usability. The platform was thoroughly tested in a production environment on more than 500 sites,” Nurlan Jumakaliev (CTO) says. “All updates for it were minor fixes, user interface tweaks and 3rd party add-ons integrated. We used this robust base for the new features of SkaDate Unity.”
The new release introduces modern features of social networking sites. Now you can have any hybrid of dating and social networking site, since this is the tendency that the industry leans to. Review the list of SkaDate social networking software features.
“Current Internet communication trends show that people want it all in one,” Sarnogoev says. “In your copy of SkaDate Unity software you have the unified business tool to build the site that people want to use.”
Another valuable addition is that SkaDate Unity goes with native integration of the complete set of chuPPo webcam software (video chat, messenger, recorder). These applications open up great opportunities for rich media interaction between users. chuPPo contributes to site stickiness, because users quickly get addicted to the new level of communication.
SkaDate is the premier provider of online dating and social networking business solutions for startups using SkaDate software as its heart. Many businesses adopt Hosted Community Site Solution which is perfect for those with no in-house technical staff and background. SkaDate sets up sites of different scale, ranging from niche home-business startups to high-volume projects with strict business plans and established distribution channels.
“We’ve been maintaining all kinds of businesses based on this platform since 2004″, Denis Juikov (COO) says, “Looks like it works for people.”
We’re glad to make a short preliminary note about SkaDate Unity - new major release from our most successful project. Feel free to read details on features and check out the new demo.
There are two most important aspects of the new version: its social networking site orientation and integration of all pieces of chuPPo webcam software.
Official press-release coming soon.
We’re thrilled to announce that our long-awaited chuPPo chat application live demo has been launched. Feel free to check out the new application.
chuPPo chat is made simple to serve the basic webcam chatting needs of our customers’ users. This is just the very first step of chuPPo expansion of the rich media content world for businesses, community sites and end users. We already have several big contractors negotiations going along. Let’s see what chuPPo means for the web within the nearest few years.
As the first application of chuPPo set we introduce chuPPo recorder. It’s already seamlessly integrated in new SkaDate build, so you have a chance to receive both at once. Thus all existing SkaDate customers already have chuPPo Recorder integrated with the update. It’s all about ticking the checkbox to activate it.
Feel free to try live demo and leave your comments!
As the first of the promised 2007 year candies, we introduce FaceJuggle - dating headshots service. This is a smart and convenient tool for community sites and their members to cut costs of producing good-looking face thumbnails from ordinary member photos. Big sites usually do it manually, spending terrific resources for that. FaceJuggle comes to save time, cut costs and automate the process.
If you don’t crop faces for thumbnails on your site yet, it would be useful for you to visit the site and/or communicate with us, so we can see what we can do for your particular needs.

The new version comes with a standard `must-have` set of features for a dating site like on-site messaging, search, extendable member profile, photo and a dozen other features. SkaDate SuccessPoint has shown that with the usual features of a dating web site there’s plenty of room to improve the things millions of people have to deal with every day.
Also, there are new features like profile tags, multimedia upload, friends networking and video chat which are more popular in the social networking industry but also get more and more recognition on dating sites.
One of the biggest SkaDate advantages is the level of customization for existing features. Unlike in other products, it is unbelievable how many things can be done through the administration panel without resorting to software code modification.

Our hosted solution gains more and more popularity because people recognize it as a viable tandem of our technical capabilities and their freedom to market the site. That is the perfect division of labor. It’s cost-effective, it’s simple and it works.

”We are all about quality and usability with this release”, Max Dubovitsky, SkaDate GM, says, “You will find the most wanted new features in SkaDate Prime, the subtle yet great work was done to enhance user experience thus making the product work much better for online daters. Our initial marketing research and further experience tell us that a dating site is only as good as how it works for its members. This doesn’t necessarily mean an overwhelming number of features that most vendors seem to chase but rather intuitive navigation, confusion-free user experience, and robust performance – things SkaDate developers chose to concentrate on”.
The company has also doubled the collection of site design templates with SkaDate Prime – there are five new amazing design templates including adult-oriented for you to choose from. Make sure you check our dating site templates.
Among the most significant changes with this release are new pricing options and new value-added services that SkaDate now offers. There’s a `Managed Solution` available for those who wish to have the whole technical aspects of their sites managed by SkaDate. This solution includes a whole set of services like hosting, technical support, and version upgrades. “This offer makes perfect sense for all types of customers because it is not dependent on their technical skill level,” – says Dubovitsky – “it just sets you free to fully concentrate on marketing your site”.

As research shows, software vendors in the dating marketplace are often incapable of providing much value after the sale is done. “When your business starts, their business ends” – Dubovitsky comments – “This is surely a dead end because you need supported solutions, not just a piece of software. This is the main problem we have seen so far in the dating web site market and we go to enormous effort to sell more than just a piece of software to our customers. This is what none of our competitors have managed to achieve so far. Our pricing strategies clearly demonstrate our intentions to build long and successful co-operation with our customers”.
If you are serious about starting your own independent online dating business you definitely need to check out what SkaDate can do for you. No matter what your business plan, SkaDate is flexible enough to offer you a cost-effective solution.
