New Features Update
Ohhh exciting times! We released some new features today along with some essential bug fixes and fancy back-end work.
No Headphones Mode
Don't have headphones handy? No problem. We've implemented a "push-to-talk" mode where you can enter the room and just use your computer speakers and microphone.
Although a convenient feature, it is still highly recommended that you wear a headset to experience 3D voice chat.
Improved First Time Experience
We've built a nifty set-up process that makes the first-time experience much easier. New minglers will go through our simple step-by-step process to make sure everything is configured properly before they join your mingle.
Enhanced Host Controls
Hosts now have the benefit of directing your attention to them or to their presentation screen. From the 'Minglers' tab the host can click 'Look at me' or 'Look at the screen' and all guests will be directed in the proper direction. Additionally, the host can choose to put the guests in a line, circle or grid.
Those are the biggest changes we've made.. you'll run into some smaller ones as you mingle.
There is a lot to look forward to over the next couple weeks. You'll see us release some improvements to our user interface, implement groups functionality, and we're going to take some time to make our existing features better :)

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.
