Hey everybody,


As we promised to some of you, we’re coming to announce that we finally launched the Beta Version of the IMinent Add-on for Windows Live Messenger. You can find it here: http://beta.iminent.com/

So, just to explain in a few words what it’s about:

* With IMinent Add-on you can send live videos (EMOvids) to your Messenger buddies.
* Your friends do not necessarily have to have the Add-on installed in order to see what you sent them, but they cannot send content themselves without the Add-on.
* IMINENT Beta is, well, a Beta: things are not fully functional yet, some texts may still be a bit obscure… So use it at your own risk.
* You will need to use Windows Live Messenger in order to benefit from IMinent services (version for Yahoo! coming soon)
* IMinent needs Microsoft framework .NET 2.0. If you don't have it installed, it will get it for you. Be patient, it may take some time.
* We are working on making it fully compatible with all other plugins. Until now, we’re fully compatible with Stuffplug and MsgPlus!

We are looking for people who want to test the following functionalities:
• The Send/Receive Feature: Is it going well? Do you encounter any errors? Does it look ok?
• Upload EMOvid: Can you upload all types of files? Is it going smoothly? Do you encounter any errors? Any suggestions you may have to improving the feature?
• Search feature (on the add-on and on the website): Do you see the search results? Can you see public/private content? Is it going smoothly? Any suggestions you may have to the search feature?
• Rate and Comment (on the website): What do you feel about these functionalities? Is there anything you would add to them? Anything you would change? Is it going smoothly? Do you encounter errors?
• Overall stability: Does the Add-on behave as you would want it to? Does it shutdown unexpectedly? Does it freeze? Is it compatible with what you have on your machine? Do you find it user-friendly? Anything you may wish to add?

Eventually, if you need to test with another IMinent user, add cristina@iminent.com or support@iminent.com in your buddy list.
Any feedback (positive, negative, bug) is also warmly welcome at: support@iminent.com or on our forum: http://www.iminent.net/




Thank you very much for your help!
The IMinent Team.

Hello to all,


IMinent has launched, on the main portal, the public beta version of our Add-on.



As you already know, IMinent is the Add-on which allows you to send and receive instantly video winks during chat sessions on messengers (actually MSN / WLM). Each video wink can be created, stocked and shared on our IM portal in your specific account.

According to the beta public, time has been spent in order to improve drastically the stability and the ergonomics.
- Drag&drop from IMinent to MSN/WLM.
- Appearance of the video winks is faster than ever due to Jabber system. Now the sent/received video is as fast as for winks or emoticons.
- shortcut development [windows+i] to maximize/minimize the IMinent window.
- improvement of the video winks access content on our portal.



More info on the IMINENT Blog !

Attention : this version is not compatible with the older ones. All your friends need to update it !


Friendly,
IMinent Team

Hey everybody,

Here’s what’s new in version 1.1.720.0, launched this week:


- Invite your buddies feature (see blog for more details);
- A faster, better flash player which optimizes the EMOvid's view;
- Windows + i minimizes the Add-on to systray;

Thanks to this version, you can now send your buddies a personalized invitation!
Now your buddies can directly download IMinent and see EMOvids playing instantly. How is it possible? Here is where the Invite button is located:



The icon “invite your buddies” lets you access to a pop up window: You will be informed about how to invite your buddies.



The pop up window gives you the choice between sending to all, sending to some of your buddies, or it gives you the possibility of sending an invitation later.



In the case you choose to invite some of your best buddies, a new window opens to select them. Note that all your buddies which have an IM icon on the front are already IMinentized! After validation you can write your personalized message:



Then: Taaaa Daaaam!! Your friends will receive a mail like this one:



According to this version some improvements have been done regarding the flash player. We saw that some problems appeared when you sent an EMOvid (the video winks seem cut). So developers worked on a faster, better, stronger flash player!! In one word: an intelligent flash player which optimizes the video winks plays. Regarding the ergonomics, we added a flash banner for slower computers to ensure users that the EMOvid is loading.



With the invite your buddies feature we are very close to the instant access for wonderful exchange video winks with friends without losing time!


Hoping you like it,

The IMinent Team
