FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DIGI-NET RELEASES DIGICHAT V3.0
GAINESVILLE, FL, September 2, 2000 - Digi-Net Technologies, Inc. announces the release of DigiChat v3.0. This latest upgrade still carries the hallmarks that made previous versions so successful. Enabling hundreds of simultaneous chat rooms and thousands of concurrently connected users, DigiChatÕs Java heritage allows it to be seamlessly installed on any platform (Solaris, UNIX, WindowsNT/9x, Mac, Linux, etc.), Additionally, DigiChat's intuitive graphical interface makes it very easy to use and manage for both the site administrator and the chat user.
DigiChat is still remarkably easy to install, manage and customize for the best possible chat service on your site. However, now there are a multitude of new features and options that webmasters can use to even better serve their visitors with the community-building power offered by their chat service. Here is a sampling of these new and exciting abilities:
- The Buddy List: This feature allows customers to create lists of favorite users and check to see if they are online.
- Emoticons: These are small graphics inserted into the text appearing in the chat window when the user types in a pre-set string of characters. For example, the traditional :-) for a "smiley face" would appear in the chat window as a picture of a smiling face.
- Invisible ChatMaster: The site administrator can log on with "invisible" status to monitor the content in chat rooms without being seen by the users. This ability can also be given to others, at the discretion of the site administrator.
- Remote ChatMaster Login: This allows site administrators, moderators and guest speakers to log into a chat event using only a web-based applet. There is no software download required on their end - a big advantage for guests who cannot travel in order to participate!
- Digi-Lite: This is a stripped-down version of the DigiChat applet, minimizing it to a "bare" user interface. Ideal for those who want a more "no-nonsense" approach to chat, it also allows for quicker download times for your users.
Additionally, DigiChat has added increased capacities to customize the product to a web site. Customers can now tile a background image in the chat interface, customize the pull-down menus, arrange the order of their banners and have Private Messages initially appear as separate pop-up windows instead of in the text. There are also more flood control devices - the time between message entries can be adjusted in milliseconds, and messages are limited to 2000 characters.
