New: eBuddy Lite Messenger

Posted by Vincent on December 21st, 2007

Our first eBuddy Mobile version on m.ebuddy.com has been out there already for three years. We have seen many of you chatting with this version on your mobile phone, PSP, Playstation3, Nintendo DS, the Wii, iPhone, iPod Touch…you name it :-)

Today we launched a complete new version, built from the ground up to offer you the best chat experience on any mobile device, without having to install anything. Since it’s completely new, we decided to rename it from eBuddy Mobile Internet version to eBuddy Lite Messenger. Why we made a complete new version?

This eBuddy Lite Messenger version allows you to login all your accounts at once. Chat with your friends from all your MSN, Yahoo, AIM, and Google Talk accounts in one single buddy list! We also added Google Talk so you now also can reach those friends on your mobile.

Thanks to all of you who have helped translating eBuddy in your own language the last couple of weeks! As of today, eBuddy is 100% fully translated in the following languages:

Portuguese (Brazilian), Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Swedish and Vietnamese.

And therefore I would like to give some special thanks a couple of translators who truly worked completely voluntary all day and night to complete their translations before the new release this week!

Blue-Cyber Chinese and Japanese
B40166873 Horizon Chinese
Gerasimos Kontos Greek
Markos Chattari Greek
Tejes Hungarian
Mervi Finnish
Pierre Cauchy French
Marianna Medea Italian
Andrea.admin Italian
Eleonora Spizzamiglio Italian
Lasse Jensen Danish
Lone Dahlberg Swedish
Fanny Forslind Swedish

Also, Blue-Cyber made a very cool eBuddy Translator display picture and inspired our own designer Allan who created 6 cool eBuddy Translator Avatars for you as a small X-Mas gift …

Here’s one example, the others can be downloaded via the translation Wiki

To all of you who want to help us update and/or translate eBuddy in your own language, send me an email at translation@ebuddy.com with your name and language you wish to translate!

Merry X-Mas to you all!

Yahoo network issues

Posted by Arjen on December 11th, 2007

Early this morning we noticed some problems with our Yahoo connection which caused erroneous “Wrong username/password” messages.

After a couple of minutes of studying the logs and stepping through the sourcecode we found the issue and it was quickly resolved.

Servers are being upgraded as we speak, so Yahoo service should be restored fully in a short while.
