MeshTop Features – Navigating Through MeshTop

Monday, September 7th, 2009

MeshTop has many different views: Network, Photo, Wall, Panel, Bar, Twitter Gadgets, Other Gadgets and so on, just to name a few. But it can get a bit confusing with so many views, so I wanted to highlight how to quickly navigate the specific features and views directly.

Navigating through MeshTop is quite straightforward – At the top of SidePanel view, there are  five buttons for navigation. The first two arrow buttons expand or collapse MeshTop to the  Bar view or the Network view. The following three buttons allow you to navigate to the three main views: Network, Photo, Wall.

At the top of the Expanded view are the same three visual buttons which toggle through the Network, Photo, and Wall features of MeshTop.

While in the Collapsed view, you can also navigate to these three main views using the navigational buttons at the bottom of the Bar view.

These are the three features that we’re highlighting in MeshTop at the moment, but we’re working on additional network and feature integrations as we finalize for our first release.

Stay tuned, and let us know of things you’d like to see in future releases by connecting with us through the feedback bar on the left, or through twitter!

Hello and welcome, from MeshTop!

I’d like to give a short introduction to our company, and hopefully later on through the weeks I’ll also be able to introduce some of our team members here.
MeshTop is a software division of Minesage, the Business Intelligence branch of the larger SagesGroup company. MeshTop’s goal is to provide the next generation of free tools for social networking, and our current team of developers hopes to bring you innovative and exciting technologies in the areas of social networking and social media applications.

We started our MeshTop for Outlook project in 2007, and our initial idea was to provide a tool for Facebook users to communicate with each other, while also giving them a tool to organize their information quickly. At the end of 2007, we developed a tool called Visual-Sage, which was built upon Microsoft’s new WPF technology. Visual-Sage’s functionality gave users a chat client for Facebook, and also a visualization tool for their networks. However, as Twitter began to dominate the social network world from 2008, we didn’t want to miss out on this potentially huge network. This integration of Facebook, Twitter and Outlook, was later termed MeshTop.

Head over to our main website to browse around if you haven’t checked out MeshTop yet. We hope that  MeshTop will be one of the leading social mashup tools for users.
