Negotiation Rooms

As promised I rolled out a new version of MP.

In this update: Negotiation Rooms with Video Support. For every offer/request you send MP will automatically create a chat room for it. Buyers and Sellers can join and ask more information, negotiate and view the products in real time via Video.

There are also some improvements in the background, MP is now running on Rails 2.0. Unfortunately due to some incompatibilities Facebook support is currently disabled. I hope for just a couple of days.

Video support is provided by the guys at Tokbox. It’s a pleasure to work with them, and I am sure we are going to continue improving the MP Video integration.

Here is a short video of a couple of things MyPadz can do. Fullscreen for full effect.

The song in the background is ‘She Believes’ from Remix NIN.

Updates

I haven’t been writing any updates and I’m sorry for that. I’ve been working on a new feature this last two weeks.

Last week I presented MyPadz at a Romanian Start-Up conference. There were 20 projects out of which 5 were selected to go to a final round.

Unfortunately MyPadz was not amongst those five. I was pretty sad not to see MP selected, and for a while pondered giving up on the project… about 10 seconds.

I hope this week I can finish everything and roll out a big update, which contains lots of fixes, a really nice new feature, Rails 2.0 compatibility and others.

Stay tuned.
