Visit L’Espace Fun Radio Yoowalk here.

We are very proud to be adopted by this awesome radio station, one of the biggest in France on teenage audience.

Walk around and chat on their website while listening to the Dancefloor Sound !

We believe that chat’s great benefit is to be live. Real-time. You really talk to some real person somewhere around the world.

But chat’s biggest drawback is volatility. What you say is then lost forever…

So, we think it can be a good idea to keep track of some conversations. And Twitter, with its worldwide success, is a perfect tool for that. In order to test this idea, and make sure that it makes sense, we have created a few Twitter accounts where anyone can follow what is being said. Among them:

• My room: xavier_YR
• JVS’s room: jvs_YR
• The walksite Yoowalk (at the entry corner): Yoowalk_YW

When we thought we had sorted out most of the bugs, and it could be interesting for some users, we asked Derringer if he was interested, and then created his account: Derringer_YR

At her request, we also created an account for Candyland, one of Cad Berry/ Fantasychick’s rooms: cadberry_YR

It is still a test that we are making, both technical and in terms of use.

Follow these Twitter accounts, chat around in these Yoowalk rooms, then tell us what you think, here on this blog.

Would you also like a Twitter account for your room? Shall we add other information than chat, for example who visited your room, and when?

I’ll be reading and answering comments.

Now guests can chat !

They just have to choose a username then they can chat.

Of course dressing up your avatar or making your room is reserved to members.

This evolution is a major one for Yoowalk, both in terms of functions and technically. We hope it satisfies your needs.

In particular now, everybody can invite their friends to discover Yoowalk, their room, the walksites they like, etc. and can show their visitors around thanks to this guest chat. Once a guest understands better what to do with Yoowalk, they can sign up to become a member.

We have also brought some other new features including:

• A counter of chat history, so that you know that something was said in case you were not watching
• A counter of your friends online
• A counter of your private chat, so that you know that one of your friends talked to you in case you were not watching
• And we are starting to add some sounds…

Hope you like this new version!

Post here any comment or suggestion you have on these improvements.
