SweetIM supports AIM 6.8 / 6.9.1.2 and Yahoo! 9 for Vista

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Hello everybody,

Lots of users have asked us lately if we’re compatible with the latest versions of AIM.

It’s a bit confusing, but I’ll try to clarify this issue:

AIM versions 6.8 & 6.9.1.2:

The latest version of SweetIM (2.6, which was released this week) is compatible with versions 6.8 & 6.9.1.2 of AIM and it is also compatible with lower versions of AIM.  You can download SweetIM 2.6 on our website.

AIM versions 6.9.2:

This version of AIM was released about a week ago and unfortunately - SweetIM is not compatible with it yet. The good news is that we’re working on this at the moment and will fix this very soon.

In addition, we also completed the integration with Yahoo! 9 for vista, and the latest version of SweetIM is now fully compatible with it.

Enjoy,

Eva,
SweetIM Support.

That sexy mechanic

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Remember that sexy computer technician I introduced about a month ago ?

Well as you can imagine, we’ve received some good feedback about it, but we noticed most of the feedback came from our male-users (surprise surprise…).

We thought it won’t be fair to leave our female-users with nothing, so this week we’ve got a sexy mechanic that will fix all of your messenger problems:
(Click on the thumbnail, then patiently wait a few seconds and you’ll see the video…)

Although he’s not really my type, I’m sure you girls just love him ! You can find our new mechanic in our menus….

Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 integration

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

It took us two (long and exhausting) weeks since Yahoo! officially released their new Messenger client (9.0) - to develop the integration of SweetIM with it.

We’ve officially released a new version supporting the new Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 .

I’d like to thank our team, who had to work around the clock to make it happen so quickly.

And on that note I’d also like to thank our users for being so patient waiting for the new version to come.

For those of you who wondered why we had no blog posts last week - now you know the reason…

The new release is available for download on our website.

Robert,

SweetIM CTO.
