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.

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.
