We have just launched a new version of the eBuddy Web Messenger Beta. Thank you for all your feedback, we have put it to good use and made some changes to the design and the code. It is still very much a work-in-progress, so there will be some way to go before we put out the 1.0 release.

Contact Filter

One of the new features we’re delivering is the Contact Filter, which you can see in the screenshot. Just type in a few characters of the name of the contact you want to chat with to find them instantly! No more hunting and searching through your list of contacts to find that one guy (or girl). To see the entire list again, just delete the text in the Filter. It is instant! We are pretty sure you will love this feature.

Multiple Networks

Did you know you can access multiple chat networks at the same time? Chat with your buddies on MSN, Yahoo! and AIM, all from the same application. Click on the “plus” after your name to add more accounts. You can even have multiple accounts on the same network logged in!

Spit & Polish

Even though this Beta release is mostly stabilizing and bringing the application in line with the design we’ve made, there is already a little spit and polish going on… Try opening a couple of chat-tabs and rescaling your window for instance. This and some other stuff will be blogged about by the development team in a couple of days.

So, we’re really curious to hear what you think about this beta. If you got a Beta Account, take it for a spin, and leave us a comment!

Greetings from the eBuddy Development Team.
