UniversityLyfe Integrates Meebo Bar!

 I am pleased to announce that we have successfully integrated the Meebo Toolbar into our entire website! Meebo started out as an all-in-one cloud based chat program - in English that means you can access popular clients like GTalk and AIM from the internet without downloading any software; they now have a wide variety of desktop and web based applications such as the Toolbar.

The Toolbar allows users to use the many features of UniversityLyfe while also being able to do a variety of actions:

  • Chat with friends using clients such as Facebook, Myspace, Google Talk, Yahoo, AIM, and Twitter
  • Share content on UniversityLyfe by dragging and dropping it to the site you want to share it on such as Yahoo, Buzz, Facebook, Twitter or Email to a friend
  • "Like" any uLyfe page - sharing it on Facebook
  • "Digg" any uLyfe page
  • Follow recent activity on the UniversityLyfe Facebook Fan Page
  • Add a review to Stumble Upon
We are in the process of updating the uLyfe Platform's code so that more objects are able to be shared using the toolbar - this should be complete by early September.

The addition of this powerful tool is exciting because you can essentially interact with friends in a variety of ways while using UniversityLyfe - making an even more powerful productivity tool:

  • At the lowest level of productivity while browsing uLyfe content you can chat with friends from all of the popular chat clients - something you can't do on those individual clients without installing their desktop software
  • Say you have a group project for school - now your friends can use their preferred chat client and discuss the documents, photos, videos, thoughts on the wall, and discussion board topics on the groups' UniversityLyfe Project page; additionally you can use the share and like tools to invite group members to join uLyfe and reference the projects page
  • If you are looking for a photo from UniversityLyfe Live you can share the photo on many different sites by simply dragging and dropping it into the Meboo interface - or "Like" the page its on
Our team is also in the process of moving from contextual tutorials in our Help Center to "How To" videos which will be published on the UniversityLyfe YouTube channel - users will be able to access these videos anytime during their browsing experience whether their members of uLyfe or not from the toolbar. We hope to have this implemented by September as well.
