New Features: No Sign-Up Required & Speaking Indicators
With the help of your great feedback we've launched 2 new features this week.
1) No Sign-Up Required
This feature helps make your mingles even more accessible. Invite someone to your MingleRoom and they will be granted access even if they don't have an account. They will simply be prompted to enter a name for their name tag and they are in - it's that easy!
2) Speaking Indicators
Although the 3D sound makes it easy to tell who is talking based on their position in the room, you have asked to also include visual cues. Now when a mingler is speaking their avatar will have a blue glow - making it even easier to know who is speaking.
Come try it out in the Welcome Room.

Mingleverse Update
Well, we've had a very busy last few weeks. Len and I spent some time in Banff at the Banff Venture Forum followed by a day in donwtown Vancouver at the SOHO SME Expo where we were able to demo Mingleverse to many small and medium sized businesses.
The positive feedback we received was very encouraging especially from those excited about the opportunity to supplement their income by using their MingleRoom and the admission system to earn some extra money. One person really put it into perspective for me when explaining us to her friend, "What Ebay and Amazon have done for selling your products to the world, Mingleverse is doing for selling your services".
We continue to receive many feature requests and I'm happy to say that we've been working hard on what we are calling 'casual entrance' where your guests will not be required to sign-up for a Mingleverse account to enter your MingleRoom. This means that once you have sent them an invitation to your MingleRoom, all it takes is a click of a link for them to enter - it's a matter of seconds! We're hoping to release this feature along with several back-end upgrades this week - so stay tuned.

Public Beta is Live - Charge Admission to Your Mingles
Today we officially opened our doors to public beta. I'd like to thank all of our private beta testers for their great feedback and dedication to making Mingleverse a success. We look forward to all of the great feature suggestions to come!
We will be hosting tutorial mingles every Monday-Friday from 11am-1pm PDT in the Welcome Room. During these mingles I will teach you how to use all of the great features of your MingleRoom, as well as how to schedule mingles, and our newest addition... how to make money using your MingleRoom!
Personally, I am super excited about this feature. I know that it will create so many revenue-generating opportunities for so many people. Teachers, tutors, trainers, musicians, comedians, celebrities, anyone with a fan base or a service to offer will have the opportunity to showcase their business/talent/expertise to a worldwide audience and get paid for it.
You'll see this feature when you go to the 'Mingles' tab and schedule a new mingle. On the first page you will have the option of making your mingle free or paid. If you select paid you will be taken to a page to create your Mingle Tickets, where you can set any price for your admission and how many tickets you want to make available.

New Feature: Private Text Chat
Have a secret? Want to share something with just one person and not the whole MingleRoom?
To initiate a private text chat with someone from within a MingleRoom click the 'Minglers' icon. Find the person you would like to message and click the 'Chat' button beside their name. A new window will open up where you can have your private conversation.
Tip: If you don't want the side window to open up automatically when someone enters a text message then go to the Public Chat window and uncheck the box at the bottom that says 'Automatically Open Chat'.
Stay tuned for Private Voice Chat...

Tutorial: Audio Problems?
Having audio problems?
From within the MingleRoom press the 'Help' icon (the wrench icon).
First try this - click 'Show the Mingleverse Connector'. Choose the 'Audio Devices' tab and click 'Audio Wizard' in the bottom left corner to configure your audio settings (you will be asked to leave the room while you configure your settings). Once you're finished close the Mingleverse Connector and go back into the MingleRoom.
Still not working? Check your volume levels or click the 'Help' icon again and choose 'Open the Support Page'.
