Major update of sobees – 0.9.6.6 – and miscellaneous news
Thursday, 25 June 2009 16:00

We’ve been rather busy of late with bDule’s success. We are pleased to announce that we are now ready to update sobees.

This is a major new release with countless new features, improvements and fixes.

In brief the new version of sobees has a smaller ribbon (which can auto-hide), new themed windows or “bDules” and support for new services digg. Oh, and we improved the support of some of our existing services like Flickr and Facebook. (See attached release notes for details.)

bDule vs. sobees

So we now have two products. Let’s clear up how they relate to one another.

bDule is our starter kit. If you are a social network user and are looking for the best Windows Twitter and Facebook client, you need look no further.

bDule is a single window application. It is easy to install and requires minimal setup (no account required). It is also light weight and runs well on netbooks.

sobees offers much more than bDule. It is a multi window application where each window is like bDule. The “bDules” in sobees offer more services and more customization options than bDule. Plus sobees has the ability to share almost anything you discover using any of many services supported by sobees, such as Twitter or Facebook or digg.

What are we working on now?

We are working on an even simpler, cross platform, web version of bDule, to be released this July. We are also working to add cool new social networking services to bDule and to move bDule out of alpha soon.

bDule Already Improved - Release 0.1.8.1
Friday, 15 May 2009 11:03
bDule has been launched less than one week ago and we would like to thank you all for the great feed-backs, blog posts, Twittering … It has been a great week! We listened to all your feed-backs and requests and have been working all week on a new release of bDule, which we just pushed out. We have implemented the most requested features: minimize to tray, keeping the content when changing the template and a smoother scrolling. We have also implemented a filter, a particularly interesting feature if you are spamed. In the settings, you can define some words, so that when you receive a tweet containing these words, it will not appear in your timeline. Another cool new feature (but we need your feed-back on this one): when you select text, it will automatically be copied in the clipboard, so that there is no need to press CTRL + C. We also worked on several other enhancements and fixes. Following is the whole list of changes:
  • Button minimize to tray implemented
  • When you change the template, you can now keep and re-order the content
  • Smoother scrolling
  • Spell checker
  • More search results (and the ordering issue in search is fixed!)
  • Words filtering (antispam)
  • URL shortener fixed
  • Auto CTRL + C when selecting text
  • Timers redesigned
  • The Twitter column indicates the current user
  • Typing a tweet of over 140 characters is possible (but it won’t be posted unless you reduce it)
  • Possibility to empty a column content
  • Slightly darker font color
We hope you will enjoy bDule even more and send us more feed-backs!
Thanks
