We’re hard at work on new features and have some great ones for you. Our beta testers are really helping us shape the site - thanks guys and girls!
Chat on AIM, Google Talk
We’ve mentioned before that Streamy is designed around core friends: that group of your dozen closest. Most often these friends can be found on chat networks, where you’ll keep up with them on a regular basis.
You can now connect to popular chat networks from within Streamy, including AIM, Google Talk, MSN and Yahoo Messenger. Simply add each service like any other: click on Setup on the top right. You will be auto-signed into the service until you sign out of it.
The fun part is chatting and sharing with other friends this way. Just drag a story and drop it on a Google contact to share!
Full Streams from Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed
Our focus on core friends still leaves room for those whom you follow. You can now read and write to full streams from Twitter, Facebook and FriendFeed. This means you can reply, comment and like items right in place.
In addition to expanded support, you can now post updates directly into each stream with the input box at its top. You can still share stories on each service, or all of them at once, with drag and drop.
Better Recommendations
Streamy is also designed around stories and their content, from blogs and news sources. Our recommendations are based on a number of factors, which combine to create a bit of a special sauce.
Our recommendations to you are improving, as we consider more factors, and, of course, you use the site more often. So stick around, because Streamy gets better with time. We’ll do our part by showing you the best, most interesting content!
Facebook Connect
Now it’s easier than ever to sign in to Streamy, using Facebook Connect. For new users, click the Connect button on streamy.com, and create a new account. For existing users, click Connect, and you can link up your existing Streamy account.
Expect support for more sign in methods in the future, like Twitter, Google, and maybe even OpenID!
New Welcome Video
We recently published a new video to demonstrate basic features and welcome new folks to the site. This is an evolving project too, so feedback and suggestions are welcomed!
