Mingleverse, the Canadian startup that is a mix of VoIP chat and Second Life raised another $1.4 million to expand their marketing efforts and integration into social networks and mobile devices.
I first wrote about Mingleverse in November 2009 and titled the post “Mingleverse – The Missing Link?”. So let’s see what has happened in the past twelve months.
Mingleverse, the mix between Skype, a webmeeting and Second Life just launched a Facebook application. As you might remember, I was quite surprised by the audio quality even at the beginning back in November 2009.
Since then Mingleverse have steadily worked on new features and the quality of their product and now they are taking on the social network number one and as Mashable reported yesterday Facebook is responsible for 41 percent of all social media traffic. So, that’s likely to be a move that’ll pay off for Mingleverse in the future.
In my last post about the “I am Online” feature I mentioned at the end that I think the status of being online equals the fact that I am available for a free chat.
This has something to do with the Lord of the Rings, kind of.
There was a great discussion going on in the chat of this ETCon. Below this post you will find the complete transcript for you to download.
As I could not answer all your questions during the conference or get deeper into the conversations that were going on, I would like to do it now.
