Youmeo's Greg and Calum

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

---

He's 19 and the site is open O.o

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..

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 :)

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

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?)

How is it confusing? You follow what it says:

Move Facebook to the active column and click activate.

What? LOL.

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.

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

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?

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.

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:

Fixed your error Ollie :)

Is that shown/hidden thing meant to be like that?:s

Nah, we forgot to remove them :P!

Sorting it now.

Errorrrr.

Useful? :P

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

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?

If you know an alternative then do tell!

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

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.

AJAX technically is JS.

Gotta love the dancing Calum. lol.

Since when did you become a coder? :o

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.

Seriously? LOL.
That made me laugh.

But yeah, you're right.

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.

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

Don't demean me you arrogant sod.

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.

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.
