We're only a few days away from our next major release, and we're dead excited to be able to finally announce that we have partnered with Meebo, the Guardian and Facebook to add to the gamut of features on footytube 2.0
The addition of Meebo means users will be able see and send instant messages to their online friends from within the site, via a nifty little IM toolbar. You will also be able to share videos and pages with these friends as you browse around. Meebo opens up a whole world of community goodness, including real-time team and live score chat.
Facebook Connect integration means you will soon be able to synchronise your footytube profile with facebook, which will enable to bring your facebook friends, photos and profile data right into footytube in just a few clicks.
We're also going to be partnering with the UK's leading lefty pinko rag, the Guardian ;) - who just happen to have (in my opinion), the very best footy coverage of any paper out there (check out their live match commentary, sure to brighten up an otherwise sterile, machine-like online commentary experience on those match days where you can't get to a tv). We're still at the testing stage with the Guardian Open Platform, but have some exciting things planned to further improve the team pages on footytube and our footy news coverage in general.
Dang this is sick so exactly how does this work do we log into facebook and people from here are going to appear in the chat list or is there gonna' be a chatlist on this here
Yeah, meebo should be live in a few days, just doing some load testing at mo. Facebook integration allows you to login into your FB account through FT and import friends, photos etc. into your fooytube profile
Sweet the meebo bar is looking good this website is going to be the best soccer website ever keep up the good work. Wow what a difference from footytube1
So I can chat with my facebook friends on footytube, but have have to be logged in to facebook.... Is there a way to sync my profile status so that footytube and facebook have the same?
Can't wait to start posting sweet video links onto facebook!
