While sipping our morning coffee this morning we where delighted to find out that Zup had made it into the Mumbai Mirror, a morning daily tabloid newspaper based in Mumbai, India.

Thanks to everyone involved!

Friends Update

2008-06-13T09:19:00.002+01:00

We've recognised that adding friends to Zup wasn't the easiest so we've made some changes...

Firstly, We've integrated Plaxo with the Facebook, Orkut and Hi5 application. Plaxo helps you import your email contacts from Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail and AOL.

We've made it easier to invite your Social Network friends e.g. if you're on MySpace you can now invite your MySpace friends to add Zup easily. When your friends join Zup they'll automatically become your friend!

So what are you waiting for?! Get on Zup and add some friends!!

Have a good weekend!

- Zup Team

Thanks Everyone! :)

Zup + iGoogle Update

2008-05-27T11:34:00.003+01:00

Unfourtanetly it looks like we'll not be launching Zup until late Summer on the iGoogle platform after Google made an announcement last week on their developer blog. We've got Zup up & running perfectly in the iGoogle sandbox (you can add it here if you're a sandbox user) so it's a shame we can't unleash it to the public just yet.

Zup Live on Orkut

2008-05-27T09:47:00.002+01:00

Hooray! Zup is now live on Orkut! You can add the application to your Orkut profile here

Hello World!

2008-05-01T10:49:00.006+01:00

The Zup team is proud to announce the launch of the Zup application. Zup is a simple messaging service that allows users to connect and message with users on different social networks. Typically members of one social network cannot connect with users outside of their social networks. This is becoming increasingly problematic as users move from one SN to another and find that they cannot maintain communication with friends on their old network. This forces users to maintain and access multiple social networking accounts to keep in touch with all their friends. Zup solves this problem by allowing users to message with users from multiple SN's. When a user moves to a new SN they can continue to message friends from their old SN using Zup. In addition, users can find new friends who have created accounts on different SN's. For example, a MySpace user can find a friend on Hi5 using Zup.

Currently Zup is available on - MySpace and Hi5. We are awaiting for approval on Facebook and Orkut and we have an iGoogle gadget ready to roll once Google implement Open Social support on their live platform.

We're hard at work developing Zup for even more Social Networks - We're aiming to be live on Bebo once they roll out support for Open social.
