Meetro is een instant messenger die gebruik kan maken van de IM-protocollen van ICQ, MSN, AOL, Google Talk en Yahoo. Het idee achter het programma is niet om berichten te versturen naar vrienden, familie en/of kenissen, maar door het invoeren van de plaats waar je momenteel bent, worden andere gebruikers gelokaliseerd die in de buurt zijn. In het hoofdscherm van Meetro worden de gevonden personen weergegeven, waarmee je kan chatten door op het gebruikersicoon te klikken. De ontwikkelaars hebben onlangs versie 1.0.1570 uitgebracht met de volgende aankondiging:
Meetro turns 1.0!
Anybody else gearing up for a May Day Celebration? We'll, it's been more than a year coming and we're extremely proud to announce our One-Point-Ohh Release of Meetro!!!
We've kicked the tires on this baby and we're ready to roll it out of the shop. With the 1.0 release of Meetro, we have lots of new features for you to play with:This all ties in with some 'soft-releases' we've done in the past few weeks, including:
- Notifications - Now when somebody sends you new comments or MeetroNotes, you'll get a friendly little bubble to notify you.
- Multi-IM - Now you can quickly switch to your multi-im buddies by clicking on the network icon at the bottom and selecting 'See These Buddies'
- Quick view of a person's links - by right clicking on their avatar and clicking the 'Links' menu item
- Send a profile link to your friends - Say you have a chat window open with QueenJean, and you're checking out Peter's profile and see something funny. Simply right click on Peter's avatar and select 'Send Profile Link To -> QueenJean".
- Leave a comment simply by right clicking on their picture on your near/friend list.
- New menu items and sidebar icons for quick access to all the links available in the dashboard
- And obviously, a Stable 1.0 core which now runs on machines that were having problems starting meetro
To celebrate this major release, we're introducing 'MeetroBrew' and Dan is tapping his porter for us.[break]
- Much Richer Profiles - upload an entire photo gallery, or bling out your profile with all the new fields and feeds we pull in.
