Crunch Time – New MeshTop for Outlook New Implementations Scheduled for October

Friday, October 9th, 2009

We’re all back at work here in Beijing after our eight day holiday to celebrate China’s 60th Anniversary. It was a great time to rest and catch up with friends and family around Beijing or back home – but now it’s back to crunching through our backlog and getting some of our ideas implemented into our next alpha release of MeshTop.

We should be aiming to have our first closed beta release by the end of October. Do send us an email to let us know if you’d be interested in receiving an invite to be a beta tester.

Quick Tips To Group Friends with MeshTop’s “Search and Tag” Feature

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

In our previous post we revealed some general features of our Network View of how you can use tags to group your friends one by one, and our integration of Facebook chat, allowing you to chat with your online Facebook friends.

This week, I’d like to give a brief tip about how to quickly group your friends with the search and tag function. On installation, MeshTop gathers all the contact information from your email address book, and social networks, allowing you to search through your whole network using the MeshTop search function. The MeshTop search not only searches through name matches but also email and company matches.

For example, if I wanted to search for all my colleagues in the MeshTop department I could perform a search on the query, ‘meshtop’, and the MeshTop search will identify the company name or email domain name ‘@meshtop.com’ matches. Each search query is automatically converted into a temporary tag, allowing you to quickly add this tag to your favorites. Utilizing the MeshTop search function with MeshTop’s tagging feature allows users to quickly sort contacts friends to different groups when you first use MeshTop.

A Question From My Friends – To Switch To MeshTop Or Not?

A good friend of mine asked me, “Why should I change from my usual Twitter client to MeshTop?”.

Frankly, I don’t know why- heh. If you have used a tool for a long time in your work-process, then I guess there isn’t much reason for you to change to another tool. However, there currently aren’t many mashup tools integrating Twitter and Facebook into Outlook, and we think that MeshTop will be able to fill that need. I’m really excited about the future of MeshTop, but there’s definitely a lot more that we can develop; we would love to hear some more user feedback regarding our current release, and anything that you would like to see implemented in MeshTop for future releases.
