Chat update and other amazing things

I have some pretty exciting news today. I announced our new chat feature at WWT just a few days ago and I’m very pleased to be able to tell you that we’ve extended that chat feature to NewWay2Surf.net. Now that may not seem such a big deal BUT the chat is live across both TEs! You can chat with WWT members AND NewWay2Surf.net members at the same time. You’ll be able to see where the other people are by the prefix. If they are on WWT then there will be a [WWT] prefix before their name. If they are on NewWay2Surf.net there will be a [NW2S]. We’ll be adding a third TE in there soon as well – Clickinpeople.com. Exciting stuff, eh? I believe this is the first ever inter-TE chat service!

One of the reasons this all came about is because NewWay2Surf.net went through a bit of a bumpy patch over the past couple of months. The original domain expired and was grabbed by someone else. Jen Herold, who has been a TE owner for far longer than I (and owns NW2S), asked if I’d be interested in forming a partnership to help develop and promote NW2S back to a thriving, busy TE. I couldn’t say no! Besides being a good friend and someone I’ve worked with and for over the past few years, she’s one of my favourite people!

NW2S was the first hover exchange to be built. I know this because it was one of the projects I worked on for Jen – I developed the hover code. Besides that, it’s just a really nice TE with some very unique features such as a built in list building feature that’s really easy to use. Over the coming months we’ll be adding more new (and very unique) features to help you get the most out of both WWT and NW2S.

The next project on the drawing board is team surfing. I know it’s very popular right now and you can be sure that when we release ours there will be a twist!
