I missed quite a few mondays... sorry about that. I have been working a lot tho...

• Several iterations on the private beta of UrFastR Live on AIR, it is looking all good now.
• UrFastR Live for bebo and widgetbox have been added (see the widgets list)
• The player size has been optimized by 33% and load even faster.
• An API has been sketched, minimal for now but will improve with time.
• The UI has been improved and the buttons are now visible!
  

and most of all, it is now possible to record directly from the player ! see the little red button :)

Nothing to annonce this week... a lot has been done but all internal or non annonceable...

In the middle of the night, thinking about the "annoncement process". An annoncement must be significative to leave an positive memory in the audience mind. This implies to release products enhancement by big chunks, so hard to keep users up to date. Startupers need to find a equilibrium, a magical sweetspot. Doing startup is a fun job :)

I published the another version of the refactored UrFastR Live on AIR as private beta, including feedbacks from the last version. I will slow down a bit on UrFastR Live on AIR to focus on the UrFastR Player itself. Currently its UI is counter-intuitive at best, it has no API and doesn't able to record the webcam. More steps have been made on the money path too, more on that later.

I published the refactored UrFastR Live on AIR as private beta, and received usefull feedbacks. I went to techcrunch paris. It was fun, got a bunch of new contacts, got to demo UrFastR. Note: a efficient way to demo to a wide audience to highjack it :) aka wear urfastr's teeshirt, situp on front row, prepare the streaming from my laptop's webcam, go to UrFastR Live on Facebook, get up, face the audience and say "Smile, you are on facebook". Then the whole audience get to know that the product exists in 5sec, ultra efficient.

I published jquery-crossframe plugin on google code. This is part of the UrFastR Player API... More on this later

I am still working on UrFastR Live on AIR second version, it will be available on private beta next week. After being published on Adobe Marketplace, Adobe offered me a thawte certificate, nice of them. As i decided that UrFastR Live on AIR will be my main plateform for the desktop, i make it nice and shiny, which is a lot of work :)

It will be at Techcrunch paris and at OCC Paris - Session Financement before that. see you there!

This week, i focused on UrFastR Live on AIR's refactoring. It is now in quite good shape. I want a "real app" and not just a toy proof of concept, so cutting-corner no, and nicely designed UI yes :) An earlier version of UrFastR Live on AIR just got published on Adobe Marketplace. UrFastR Live on Facebook received more love from users :)
I got reports from canadian friend about incompatibilities on mac, i will fix them as soon as possible. I wish i had more arms :(

see you next week

update: fixed the mac issue. have fun
