Cliqset Social Blog

Winter getting you down? Temperatures are dropping, but Cliqset continues to heat up. At Cliqset, we’re committed to creating an environment that continues to evolve and builds on our vision to revolutionize the way people share, discover, and discuss content online. Today, we introduced a few new features to our Web site and Desktop App – a combination of user requests and ideas we’ve cooked up on our own.

We’re pretty excited about the new enhancements and we’ve concentrated on (unprecedented) file sharing across Cliqset, powerful new tools (streams) to filter out the noise and zero in on the content or people that are most interesting to you, and greater collaboration through group creation.

Here’s a run-down of what’s now available on Cliqset:

• File Sharing: People will be able to upload and share files with other Cliqset users as part of the real-time activity stream – Share dozens of file types, including MP3s, PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, and more.

• Custom Streams: Users can now organize content from the people they’re following into real-time ’streams’ of information. Streams make it easier to filter through the noise and provide you with the tools to easily get to the information you care about from the people you’re following.

• New Groups Functionality: Groups enable users to come together around commonalities (hobbies, clubs, companies, file sharing) and consume, create, and collaborate in public or private topical, real-time conversations.

• New Firefox Extension: This alternative Cliqset view, embedded on the browser interface, enables users to stay connected to their friends’ bookmarked links and quickly share compelling content they discover while surfing the Web. The extension is available for download at http://cliqset.com/firefox.

• Enhanced Adobe AIR Desktop Application: With a new design, the Cliqset desktop client makes it easier to organize information shared by your friends, family, and the other people you follow on Cliqset. The desktop application is available for download at http://www.cliqset.com/desktop.

• Integration with 10 new services, including some of the most popular social services in Europe and Asia.

In coming weeks, Cliqset’s Social Blog will take a deeper dive into each of these gems. So, enjoy these belated holiday gifts, and stay tuned for more conversation. And please, continue sharing your ideas and opinions with us, and help shape our community.
