Olympic size update!
Your initial feedback has been great, with one exception, I can sum it up with this quote "I really like meglobe and think its a great idea...but how do I make new friends to talk to?" Well you have spoken and we are listening. Tonight we are releasing our brand new Multilingual Chat Rooms!
On top of you guys needing an area to meet, we really wanted to do something for the Olympics and thought this was a perfect opportunity to theme the rooms while we give our users this preview release. Admittedly the rooms are far from perfect, (we like to embrace our inner beta) but they will give you guys a chance to see the progress we have made and get your feedback early and often.
Howto:
When you log in you will now see a room drawer attached to your buddylist, double click on one of the rooms and get chatting. You can tab to the other languages to see what your new friends are seeing and of course edit any translations that need a little help.
Possible topics for chatting:
- Why you shouldn't talk smack on US swimming
- Those synchronized Chinese Divers (they are insanely good)
- Figure out how the scoring works for boxing
- Think about ways to avoid BSOD for the closing ceremonies

Hi!
Hi!
I am the founder of MyHappyPlanet.com, a language learning website that has grown to 300,000 members. We are currently just beta testing the Toksta chat system, and I just found out about meglobe!
I am sure that there is an opportunity to work together. I hope that you launch an API that allows other sites to integrate your chat system, just like Toksta and Tokbox do. Our deal with Toksta is that we share in the revenues from their chat system, but we don't pay for anything else.
It would be amazing if meglobe offered something like this too! We would definitely be interested.
