Today, we launched our new version of the Userplane Directory.  This rollout will primarily affect Userplane community owners (Instant Install), who will see some new and improved features: 

- New “Most Active” chat section - updates every 5 minutes
- Ability to sort search results to only see the chats with active users in them
- Easier access to chat room personalization because it is now localized in one easy access area
- Faster “my users” section w/ enhanced usability
- You can now customize the window title of your chat
- You can now delete your communities and even your own account (Userplane ID)

We’ve been quite busy here in Santa Monica. Here are a few highlights from the last couple of months…

1) Userplane Feeds are introduced - Our initial Feeds API, Truveo Video Search allows you to embed advanced video search results on your site - which can be integrated with advertising and Userplane Money to generate additional revenue.

2) FREE Webrecorder is pushed out - Our record and share app - used for video profiles, posting a/v comments on profile pages, video blogs, and more - can now be installed with no monthly fees, supported by ads.

3) Userplane’s Facebook App - We join FB’s social graph with our very own chat app, which allows users to chat and instant message their Facebook friends using Userplane’s feature-rich tools.

4) Userplane Embraces Google’s OpenSocial - Our new APIs will allow OpenSocial application developers to integrate Userplane apps, such as Webchat, Webmessenger and Webrecorder, within their applications.

6) Our dev team diligently works on new version of Userplane Directory - about to launch! More details to follow shortly…
