Get the scoop on what's new at MeGlobe.

Struggle in Iran

About 6 months ago MeGlobe was covered on a very popular Iranian technology site 1pezeshk.com and as a result we had a large number of people from Iran become members of the MeGlobe community. Watching the events that are unfolding in Iran has been difficult for the entire team at MeGlobe since we value each member of our community and have come to think of them as family.

Watching the events unfold in near-real time on Twitter, Facebook and from conversations with our Iranian community members here on MeGlobe have given us real perspective on how much the flow of information throughout the globe has changed in the past 2-3 years. Before the advent of tools like Twitter and Facebook, Youtube etc, before the computing power that makes products like MeGlobe possible, we had to wait for news to be delivered via traditional channels like cnn.com or the Times. News that was already filtered and packaged for our consumption.... now we have access to the raw feed. These tools have the potential to change the world communicates if used properly.

Although watching events like violence taking place in Iran is very difficult at times, I think it's important for people to have access to unfiltered information.

Star Trek

COOL MOVIE!!!!!

Our friends at Iddictive wrote this a while ago.....

"After checking out MeGlobe.com you feel that a Star Trek style universal translator can’t be that far off. MeGlobe is a instant messaging service (which works with your AIM, MSN or Yahoo account) that provides real time language translations - allowing you to converse with people in over a dozen different languages."

I wish we were in the movie!

Dear MeGlobers,

We have so much fun learning about everyone's geographic locations in our lounge, we decided to put up a live map! Check it out, it's really fun to see how far MeGlobe is reaching around the world.

CUBA!

The US administration has just eased restrictions with Cuba.

Do you have friends or family in Cuba? Is language still a barrier? Now you can easily connect and chat in Spanish! Try it now, FREE!

Let us know what you think.

MeGlobe desktop!

One of the coolest features about MeGlobe is that it's web based so you don't have to worry about any downloads or installs when you want to meet and chat with people who live around the world...BUT we realize that there are still many of you out there that love their desktop IM clients so we've been hard at work developing a desktop version just for you!

Although it's still a work in progress, meaning that it's in beta, we've made sure that it's relatively bug free and has all the same features that our web version does. You'll have offline messaging, public and private multi-lingual chat rooms and access to your AOL, YAHOO and MSN buddy lists with our desktop client!

Come check it out here: http://meglobe.com/en-c/download-meglobe-desktop

As always, if you find any bugs or would like to give us some feedback or new ideas on how we can improve MeGlobe please visit our Forums or send us an e-mail at support@meglobe.com

Your friends,

Team MG

Send offline messages to your MeGlobe friends

Hello,

We've just added an offline messaging system to put you in touch with your MeGlobe friends who you've had a hard time reaching because they're either on the other side of the world or just very busy! All you have to do is open your MeGlobe contact list and click on your offline friends name, type in a message in the chat box and send away. They'll be able to see your message the next time they log into their e-mail!

It's a great way to remind your friends to come join you on MeGlobe or just send them a quick message without having to log into your e-mail account.
