Update: We’ve released Beta 2 of version 7.1. This is a public build and further enhances the next version of Yoono with bug fixes and changes based on the feedback from the community. You can download Beta 2 here: Download Here
Looking back at the last 12 months at Yoono it is clear that we have had a phenomenal year. Our product has evolved and changed quite a bit in this timeframe. We released Version 7 last month and have since pushed out 9 small updates with bug fixes and enhancements in response to community feedback. Since version 7 was released, we’ve been hard at work on 7.1 because we couldn’t fit everything in version 7 on time and there are so many great ideas that we want to implement.
Aside from small tweaks and a few enhancements, the killer feature in version 7.1 is a new multi-column view. The new feature enables you to be in more than one place at once (figuratively of course) and have a handle on what everyone is doing without clicking around in a single-column orientation. From our blog post announcing this feature last week:
multi-column clients allow you to set up a series of vertical columns all viewable simultaneously and displaying things like all your Twitter mentions, Direct Messages, or the results for a particular Twitter search term. The effect is one of a social media “dashboard” that gives you at-a-glance access to a lot of data flowing through your real time social stream.
We’re incredibly excited to be including this feature in our next release. The feature is mostly aimed at power users who want access to many data points without changing gears (clicking various tabs in Yoono) but you can opt to turn on multi-column by simply clicking a dedicated button at the bottom of the Firefox Add-On.
The small column-esque button turns your browser view into an array of columns and you have full customization options to display Twitter & Facebook side by side or a saved Twitter Search. AIM gets its own column and so does Flickr. In a basic configuration of Yoono with all 10 of our services added, there are 1,681 different configuration options available to you and this is pretty monumental because, prior to version 7.1, you only had 1 option to customize how Yoono displays data.
The same feature will be included in the next version of Yoono Desktop which is a cross-platform version of Yoono for Mac & PC. Yoono Desktop will be ready for Linux very soon and will also include multi-column support.
