[Jme]

This is a pretty good video of Greg and Calum of youmeo talking about some cool new features and showing off some pretty sweet dance moves... haha

http://vimeo.com/2160819

I figured this was the right section to post in since it's web development related :)

[Greig]

[Jme]

Are you crazy? It's a video... lol

[Swearwolf]

[Kaveri]

Well that was a waste of 10 minutes of my life.

I want to see the following people in the Youmeo office;

Sree, James, Paul and Pete.

James was in the office today :P

& Why do you want to see them in the office Adam?

[Alexz0r]

They look really young, whos the other guy with the black hair? is he a member here?

[Nli.]

If you watched the video, and read the captions and even listened! the "other guy" is the founder.

[Invent]

The guy with the black hair is Calum (the founder of YouMeO).

[Glasses]

I'd join if i had the Username GayGod. That profile is just a fake (N)
Matthew Lush isn't on YouMeO.

[Dilore]

Entertainment at it's finest :P

Confirmation, for my own sakes really.

[itsme]

Confirmation, for my own sakes really.

Why? They all exist? Infact James & Paul are listed directors of the company.

[RYANNNNN]

still isn't as good as it was made out to be...

What wasn't?

[Glasses]

He is :)
He's not lol.

[Dilore]

still isn't as good as it was made out to be...I agree. They need to get some music on there and some interviews etc. Custom profiles would be good too Invent ;)

[Awfy]

Music requires artists and labels, which we don't have time as of yet to approach for any form of partnership let alone get them to agree to uploading their songs. We're applying all our time to getting the site's look, system and appeal up. This is why we're going to be creating this podcast to show the users we're following the community and trying to communicate with them as much as possible.

[Dentafrice]

You criticize everything on this forum, yet you have nothing to prove yourself any better then what you criticize..

[Kaveri]

You don't need to have. You can say that you don't like a brand of Coke yet I bet you couldn't make one better. Stop being so naive and start accepting criticism. It's better than receiving praise anyway so you shouldn't be complaining.

I don't see how:

Is actually constructive?

It's easy to accept constructive criticism, but stupid **** like that, is pointless.. and just wastes time.

He criticizes anything and everything..

And I don't really see where you have any right to start telling me what to do.. :rolleyes:

[Dilore]

Nobody has any right to tell someone what to do so lets just calm down now ;) I'm sure YouMeO will improve soon when they get over the beta stages :)

I wasn't agreeing with him, I was just telling you how it is. I also never said anything about constructive - I said it's nice to know what people think and if it's criticism (constructive or not) then that can only be a good thing because you can improve and make it better than what it is. I'm no-one to tell you what to do and I never said that either, I'm just telling you there's no need to be naive and ignorant as you were in that post.

[Dentafrice]

Hmm.. this seems like a command to me:


Stop being so naive and start accepting criticism.

You could have worded that a little bit better..

[Dentafrice]

[Kaveri]

Constructive criticism, no imperatives intended ;).

[Hypertext]

Looks good, so glad it's on vimeo. Btw, you guys totally look like your doing a diggnation, loving it so far. I'll talk about it after I watch it..

[Invent]

I agree. They need to get some music on there and some interviews etc. Custom profiles would be good too Invent ;)

It's a bit harder than it sounds? :P
I think we're looking into getting some more content on to the site soon, but I'm not too sure at the moment really as we're focusing on getting one of the main fundamental sides of the site online and working (services).

Also, what do you mean by custom profiles? We've just removed our HTML filter (we have a whitelist of html tags) to allow you to have a bit of fun with your profile until the skin editor is released in the near future (I hope :P!).


Confirmation, for my own sakes really.

Excuse me? James has a profile on YouMeO that he tries to keep active, Pete has talked about us on his marketing business' website and Paul is listed as a director for the company.

As for Sree, he's out-sourced so good luck on getting him to come to the offices...(feel free to pay for his flight if you want to :))


I'd join if i had the Username GayGod. That profile is just a fake (N)
Matthew Lush isn't on YouMeO.

And how do you know it's a fake? It could easily be him..


still isn't as good as it was made out to be...

Please do expand on what you're trying to say...it's not very constructive what you said now is it?

[Glasses]

And how do you know it's a fake? It could easily be him..
I asked Cameron (His BF) on MySpace and he said he doesn't even know what youmeo is.

Well of course it's harder :P I wasn't talking overnight, perhaps a month or two away :) Yeah it would be good to see more content on the site as all I see at the moment when I login is my friend updates - It would be cool to have site updates and events in local areas etc.

Custom profiles would be in the range of being able to change the background to changing text to changing the header colour of the site etc :) Would add a "personalized" effect to YouMeO.

Also what HTML commands are there? :)

[Awfy]

Skinning your profile is going to be a little more advanced, but advanced as in making it easier for you to use. We want to keep styling pretty limited for now until we can safely say the profiles won't be changing code wise and we have some form of editor out - otherwise all your hard work would be lost if we were to update the coding of the profile (HTML or CSS). It may be a while away but it will make things a whole lot better for everyone instead of just designer and/or coders.

Also anyone who was having navigation issues in Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2 should now be pleased that it's working correctly. Just had some really fiddly bits that just wanted to play hard ball.

Also would like the say for our first "Pilot" episode of the podcast we've not had bad views with 105 plays between the 5th and 6th. Sure it's not into the 100's of thousands but it's an alright start.

@Glasses: If you are speaking the truth could you please screenshot the discussion - thank you :)

[RYANNNNN]

You criticize everything on this forum, yet you have nothing to prove yourself any better then what you criticize..

It doesn't matter if I haven't proved myself, I can still give my opinion. If I think something is good then I'll make a good comment, which occassionally I do.

I find it quite ironic that you posted what you did and just a few days ago you posted that only a select few were allowed to have big egos, a forum is for discussion and opinions. If you don't like my opinion then don't comment.

[Awfy]

If you don't like something then say why, not just a comment because you're someone who disliked me in the past. It's simply petty.

[RYANNNNN]

I said why I didn't like it, the functionality to intergrate all your social networks isn't great and that was what was so hyped up.

[Awfy]

Well if you watched the video there's a new services system and setup coming soon, well done on posting a reply about that when the video explains it all ;)

[--ss--]

The founder looks like he's only 17, how can he afford to rant out a office and pay his staff (Seeing as the site isn't even open yet)? O.o

The site is open?

I said why I didn't like it, the functionality to intergrate all your social networks isn't great and that was what was so hyped up.The new system hasn't been added yet. We've created a new method of updating your status to several social networks and we're currently working on some cool ways to post out your blogs, photos and more..

[Awfy]

Happily we've now released the following updates which correspond with the video;

1. New Homepage
2. New Navigation
3. New Your Home Overview
4. New Services (In "Your Home" under "Services")
5. New Registration Process

Would like to hear from you all about them :)

[Invent]

4. New Services (In "Your Home" under "Services")

Which brings hours of drag + drop fun along with it ^_^

[Xarea]

I like it, it looks nice, but I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK THE THING!!!!!

I've just logged in, and i'm lost already. I think Simon + Greg have spent too long trying to make it all nice and flashy, but I don't know what to do. I'm trying to do the most simple thing: link it with my Facebook status, but I don't see how.

It's really confusing, gee. (and Simon, why do you type it like YoUmeO?)

[Invent]

How is it confusing? You follow what it says:

Move Facebook to the active column and click activate.

[Xarea]

What? LOL.

http://uploadpicz.com/images/SJED8NX.png

What's an active column? And where does it say Facebook?

You've gotta remember that although this may seem second nature to you, it's really confusing to someone new.

[Invent]

Oh right, to activate Facebook as a service, you simply click "Services" on the subnavigation.

[Xarea]

Ah, well, I didn't know that :p.

Maybe on your first (and possibly second) login, you should get a little interactive guide on how it all works?

[Invent]

We're planning on making a video tutorial in the Yourhome overview page when you have no activity feeds (so basically your first visit(s) to the site) to explain how to use the site.

[Xarea]

Cool! One other thing... it's not working. Tried three times, basically it just stalls after you tell Facebook to give Youmeo permission to use your stuff.

The Youmeo page just keeps loading and loading, then you get this:

Nah, we forgot to remove them :P!

Sorting it now.

Useful? :P

[Excellent2]

I'm loving the new Home bit. It interacts more with the users and gives us a tad more to see rather than status updates :P

[Pyroka]

I might just register seeing all this stuffs. Err, I agree with Xarea about an interactive guide. Why not just initiate a AJAX pop-up thing with little pointers into setting up little bits. Couldn't be TOO hard, and it's easier than making a video (imo :P)

Nice though, very nice. :D

Why would you use Ajax?

[Josh-sama]

Why would you use Ajax?

Why not?

[Pyroka]

If you know an alternative then do tell!

[Source]

Hypertext is just been pedantic. He means... its not ajax but just javascript.

[Funya Chin]

Use tooltips for sessions of around a week within registering or something.

By the way, Simon, why did you get so defensive when I asked a question about whether there is a picture of the staff in the office or a live feed. I don't question that they work for youmeo, however, I do question that they are actually fully-employed full-time staff at youmeo and not freelance finance/coders respectively. Either way, it's probably my mis-understanding in the first place however I don't think so.

[Josh-sama]

AJAX technically is JS.

[today]

Gotta love the dancing Calum. lol.

[Funya Chin]

AJAX technically is JS.
AJAX uses JS, it is not JS.

[Excellent2]

AJAX uses JS, it is not JS.Since when did you become a coder? :o

[Awfy]

I don't see why people are being so up tight that you don't hear much from the directors, you rarely hear from directors of websites due to the fact they're mostly behind the scenes doing the bits that may never cross your mind or vision. Where as people such as Calum, Adam, Simon and myself are always in the office as we need to be to develop designs and structures.

All staff on the staff page are full time but that doesn't mean they are in the office 24/7. For example Sree is full time but is based in India, that doesn't make him any less of a staff member.

I'm not, that was just common sense.

@ G ; I never said they were any less of a staff member, I was just saying that I've been [unintentionally] mis-lead as to what their roles actually are.

[Awfy]

How have you been mislead? All their official titles/roles are listed below them on the staff page, I don't see how in anyway they can be considered misleading :S

[Dentafrice]

That's not what I meant Greg - I meant, I was thinking that they worked with you like you were a client and they had many clients etc. This is going by what I've been told, however, it seems that they are in the office etc and they are actually hired by you and they have no other employer. That's what I meant.

[Awfy]

Don't see why it concerns you in anyway to be completely honest, so why are you bringing it up? :S

Seriously, from what I see you're doing anything to demean this project.
Youmeo is going great and has great potential.

Just stop posting, unless it's a constructive opinion.
