Launching a Social Network


Currently, we are in the process of finishing up work on the new iMeetzu. Here’s a sneak peak screenshot of the conversation logs interface, although it will be changed a bit from its current state to allow for commenting etc.

Sneak Peak Chat Log

So you will be able to view an essentially never-ending list of conversations, although we will be restarting the logs at first to ensure people don’t have private information divulged, etc. You will be prompted at the end of your conversations as to whether or not you are comfortable publishing them. It is beneficial to publish them in certain ways. If a conversation you publish gets high ratings, and you have registered, you will be able to take credit for it with your username, which will then make you somewhat famous on the site. This will be especially true if you have lots of conversations with high ratings, as this will raise your overall rank as a conversationalist. With a high rank as a conversationalist, you will be in high demand to have conversations, which will give you a chance to reduce boredom and meet a lot more interesting people than normal.

Of course, there will be other new features as well. I can’t give you a sneak peak of the profile system yet, but features include displaying links to your latest conversations and a list of all your published conversations. You will also be able to view any conversations you had that you decided not to publish, which of course nobody else will be able to see other than the person you talked to. You will be able to add friends/contacts, you will have a wall for people to leave comments, and you will be able to add pictures. You will also be able to fill out an about me section. We’re still debating on whether we will allow you to use HTML, but it seems likely. And another great feature will be the ability to plot yourself on a map, which will involve the usage of Google’s Map API. You’ll be able to find people near you to talk to through this new map feature as well.

The site is close to being finished. Within the next couple days it should be up and running, so stay tuned! The new features will definitely blow you away, and you won’t think twice about chatting here instead of Omegle. I’m sure I left some features out, but it’s obvious that this new conversationalist social network will blow any other 1-on-1 chat sites out of the water.

Sincerely,
