OKStream: Behind the Curtain
An aggregated blog of everyone in the office

MessageZoo.com goes live tomorrow

May 8, 2008 06:42 by ChrisD

Finally, our reference implementation of MessageZoo.com will be released in the wild (pun intended). MessageZoo was designed as a simple video messaging system and has been an in-house project for a few weeks now. Since we got way too many requests to make this application available to external users, we will be launching it as a full-blown messaging portal tomorrow. Feel free to check it out: http://www.messagezoo.com/.

MessageZoo utilizes the version 1.0 of the OKStream widget factory in a mix of 70% widgets - 10% Core API - 20% Native code application. It was designed as a test-case implementation and helped us weed out some of the usability issues in the active widgets. There are a few tricks we applied to the callbacks to make it work in the iFrame model that I'll be describing in more details in the next few days.
