iChatters.com Fills Niche Nicely. Hooking-up iChatAV Users.
San Francisco, CA (August 14th, 2003) - After successfully launching iChatters.com in beta on August 4th, today iChatters.com emerges from beta testing with over 1300 members just over a week. Such success, based almost entirely on word-of-mouth, proves that there is a viable market for creating an online space where iChatAV users can find each other online.
iChatters.com, a free service, allows iChatAV users to create profiles (with photos) and sign up sign up for affinity rooms ranging from General Chat to uncensored Adult Chat. Once logged-in, users will see other users who have signed up for the same type of affinity rooms.
Recently, iChatters.com added an extended profile functionality which shows a live status indicator, optional photo, and other optional information that people may want to put into their profile. The software has also been upgraded to show only users with similar Adult Status. Users who have not chosen Adult Access will not have to be subjected to adult content.
New features added this week are:
Profile Search - Users can search other online profiles, including those that are currently online or those that are offline.
Konfabulator Plugin - This plug-in shows how many people are online that want to chat at any given time.
New features coming soon:
Buddy Lists - Email or an instant message notification when their friends come online.
Stealth Mode - This optional user made will keep your username hidden and others will have to use iChatters.com's "blind-massaging" system to request chats.
Instant Messaging through iChatters.com - Users can request chats (with a preview picture and profile) directly through iChatters.com. Instead of sending just a simple text message through iChatAV, users will be able to attach a preview picture and more profile information allowing for a more functional chat-request screening system.
About iChatters.com
iChatters.com was written, designed, and developed by Jeffrey M. Glover. Mr. Glover came up with the idea for iChatters.com during Steve Job's Keynote in June at the Worldwide Apple Developers Conference. While there are other sites that have similar ideas and concepts, he believes that iChatters.com fills the niche nicely while maintaining a distinct Mac OS user experience. iChatters.com plans to remain as a free service by subsidizing the cost with online banner advertising and donations.

Linksys Wireless Media Adapter
Linksys has a very cool device which lets you access your music & pictures from your TV & stereo. Unfortunately, it isn't Mac compatible since it depends on PC-based software.
The Linksys Wireless-B Media Adapter lets you bring the digital music and pictures stored on your computer to your Home Entertainment Center, without running cables through the house. Using a wireless connection, the Media Adapter displays your digital photographs on the TV for the whole family to enjoy. And your digital music collection is finally freed from those little computer speakers and can play in full glory through your stereo system.
The Wireless-B Media Adapter sits by your home stereo and television and connects to them using standard consumer electronics cables. Then it connects to your home network by Wireless-B (802.11b) wireless networking, or if you prefer, it can be connected via standard 10/100 Ethernet cabling. Using the included remote control and the user-friendly menus on your TV, you can browse through the digital pictures on your computer by folder, filename, or thumbnail. You can view pictures one at a time, or watch an automatically created slideshow of all the pictures in a given folder. The Media Adapter supports four popular picture formats: JPG, GIF, TIF and BMP. Use the remote control's Zoom button to get a close-up of the details in your pictures.
You can also use the remote to browse your MP3 or WMA formatted music collection by title, artist, genre, folder, or playlist. Choose the music you want, and let the Wireless-B Media Adapter play it through your stereo system. You can even let music play in the background while you browse your pictures.
A Mac version would be even nicer.
