Hi Folks,

Most of you are probably familiar with our Glitters:

We’ve released them a few months ago in both our messenger application and browser toolbar, and to be honest, haven’t really bothered asking our users whether they like these shiny ones or not.

Well it’s never too late:

Do you like the glitters ?   Are you using them more/less than other content items ?  Would you like us to add more ?

Another idea I had in mind was creating a “glitter text generator”, which means you can enter your own text and it’ll be generated with a glitter font…   Would you use such a feature ?

Jeff LaPorte, co-founder of EQO Communications, has published a blog post with an IM coverage world map based on his company’s IM interconnect capability, showing different countries seem to have different preferences of IM platforms.

For example, 77.18% of Argentinians use MSN Messenger, followed by 9.88% who use GTalk, while 50.77% of Australians use MSN Messenger, followed by 24.45% who use Yahoo Messenger. Beside Argentinians - Mexicans (83.72%), Turkish (75.60%), Brazilians (75.31%), French (68.01%) and Dutch (65.41%) are all big fans of MSN Messenger. AIM is mostly common in the US (and amazingly very uncommon in the rest of the world). In large parts of Asia, Yahoo take the lead. And of course in China - QQ is the dominant platform.

I think the emoticon that best describes my mood today is this:

This is how I feel after the 4738294.5 meetings we had today.

But looking on the bright side (that’s what I usually do in life) - At least some good stuff will come out of these meetings !!

I can’t tell you about the good stuff yet, but trust me you’ll be the first to hear !

Roy.

It took him 13 (or 14, who counts ?) long years till he finally did it… Jagosh decided it’s about time he’ll propose (or else his girl would have kicked his…) !

The wedding is this Friday (ladies, you’ve got two more days to make him change his mind), but we’ve decided to surprise him today with a little celebration. We all came to his office, armed with lots of booze, music, and some good spirit:

hmm… I guess it’s not an air hockey table after all…

I think you can guess who’s Jagosh…

you got it right, he’s the most surprised (and threatened) guy in the photos:

He’s got exactly what every animator (and a soon to be married guy) need:

It took us a while (I’m sure Roy told you we had some technical difficulties last week), but in this week’s new content update (released yesterday) you’ll be able to find the dogs that you folks have chosen !

Look for them in the “New” and in the “Display Pictures” categories.

ohhh, btw: you’ll also be able to find that scary video we were telling you about…

Thanks again for the help with the dogs,

Jagosh

Well I guess it wasn’t that difficult.

Kristy was the one to guess right what the photo from my last post was…

Our new air hockey table !!

Obviously, it’s located in our creative dep. AKA “Playroom”.

FYI, it might not be our “Space Attack” but so far I’m winning big time playing against Robert.

Hi All,

When we started this blog, we promised some “behind the scene” of SweetIM…

Till now we haven’t done so many posts about what’s actually going on here in the office.

Well you’re about to have another sneak peak.

But first, we’ll start with a question.

What is this:

Send your guesses.  (Remember it’s all about fun in SweetIM… )

p.s. if you were wondering, in this picture you can see from left to right: Robert (SweetFounder), Jagosh (SweetAnimator), and Issac (SweetDeveloper).

Hi folks,

I’m sure some of you were wondering where’s the new content this week, well the truth is we were just very busy watching the Olympics on TV so we were too lazy uploading new content…

Naaa…  Just kidding,

The real story is that we are having some technical problems (caused by the extremely high traffic to our website). But don’t worry, we’re about to fix the problem and you guys are gonna have the new content by Monday.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Roy

Till today we’ve enabled you to shoot, flip, hide, bite, burn, and smash your friends’ chat window.

Next week you’ll be able to…

Saw it !

It was originally planned for Halloween, but we just couldn’t wait to release it !!

Enjoy,
