MeBeam

IconDial is back

IconDial is a service which has was launched a few months ago, is now back online, and should remain so, as we have managed to finally find a way to make it sustainable.

In exchange for listening to a short 10 second advert before the call is made, you can make free calls to any land-line or mobile phone in USA.

IconDial will soon be expanding to other countries, and will be offering new features, such as voice-mail, address books etc.

I want my MTV

First of all, Happy belated New Years, and my apologies for not being around, but I have been, deep underground in the bat-cave working on something very cool.

Actually, we have been working on this for almost 2 years now, and it is very quickly coming to launch time.

MeBeam has been a test-ground for a very advanced new video network which I have been dreaming about for several years now, and is now becoming a reality.

MeBeam.Tv, essentially will allow anyone to broadcast from their home, office or studio, live television to an infinite amount of viewers, all with direct live feedback, showing, how many viewers, from where etc.

There is still a ton of work, still to be done, but I will keep you all up to date, with where we're up to, and how things are progressing. For more direct information, please visit

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection

A small but important feature of MeBeam, is the ability to know who said what, in the MeBeam chat window, without the need to have a username.

This is accomplished by taking a snapshot of the person who typed in the chat window, so you can identify that person by their web cam image.

Unfortunately, not everyone has a web cam, and until now, these users all appeared as a light greenish blue box.

To differentiate chat messages from people without cam, I have now made it so, that these users has a unique color.

Now you should be able to determine who said what, unless of course your color blind.

MeBeam going live with Live

Many plugins have been released over the months to integrate MeBeam into your favorite instant messenger.

I think we have covered pretty much every popular IM out there, from Google Talk to AIM, even Skype ( which is currently offline due to some unforeseen technical issues).

One plugin which was developed, but which I forgot to release , is the plugin to integrate MeBeam into Msn Live Messenger.

So here it is, a small plugin for MSN, which adds MeBeam video directly from your buddy list.
