Get It While It’s Hot! http://blog.klinkr.net/2008/06/08/first-release-get-it-while-its-hot/ http://blog.klinkr.net/2008/06/08/first-release-get-it-while-its-hot/#comments Sun, 08 Jun 2008 09:02:00 +0000 Eelco Lempsink http://blog.klinkr.net/?p=10 For some mysterious reason weekend projects always seem to flow over into a couple of spare hours after that. Actually, it’s not that mysterious, it would be nothing but sheer luck if we had completed klinkr in exactly a weekend without any real plan(ning) in advance.

Anyway, we managed to get something decent done and now release our first version! With stunning features like

  • Instantly see where your friends are
  • Innovative UI to sort your friends
  • Intelligent Centering™ to see both a friend and yourself on a map

Note: klinkr shows your friends, but doesn’t ‘plaze’ you, you still need to run the Plazer for that. Alternatively, you can make klinkr open Plazes in your browser when your network connection changes.

The big difference with the current Plazer is that klinkr does away with the ‘activity stream’ and simply flattens it to be a kind of ‘friend radar’, the feature we loved the most of the old Plazer (Aaah, remember those days?)

We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do, so, go download it!
