Hello fringsters,

As you remember, we’ve released 3.40 a couple of weeks ago. We got lots of comments and feedbacks from you as well as some very helpful bug reports.

This is a quick post to let you all know that we’ve just released an updated version of fring 3.40 that should solve the bugs you guys reported about.

This version brings better stability as well as a smoother installation process.

Currently this version is available to Nokia S60 users. A version for Samsung Symbian handsets should be available in the next couple of weeks.

As always, please feel free to try it out and send us your thoughts - we’re always here to listen.

Attention, Attention, drum roll… we’re very excited to announce that fring version 3.4 has just gone live.

As you probably already know most of us have several social circles developing in parallel, I mean who uses only own social tool these days? At fring we’ve been listening to what users of social media really want, and especially our community of fringsters, using this valuable feedback from the community we came up with a few new solutions mashing up all your separate communities of friends into one manageable, mobile interface via fring.

From now on, fring lets you easily create one rich, dynamic profile for each of your contacts so you can see what anyone is up to at a glance, and interact via all your mutual social networks/services directly from one combined profile. It’s all happening on fring!

So what does it mean?

• No more multiple listings for the same friend!
• Viewing a fringster’s profile, you can see whether he’s currently available via fring, Skype or MSN, and other IM services.
• We “hint” you when a friend from your regular phone book or another social network like Skype, AIM etc is also a fringster so you can add them to your fring friend list and complete their personal profile.
• You can control how your fring world sees you! You can update your own fring profile photo, mood status and nick name

How do you do it?

• To merge together multiple contacts, follow these steps: In buddy list, select the user you want to merge > Go to “Manage buddies” > choose “Merge buddies”> it will take you to your buddy list. Scroll down to other names for the same contact that you’d like to merge > Click OK to check the box next to each > Hit Save. You’re done
• To update your profile click on Options> Edit my profile> Options> and choose Update picture/ Update mood text/ Change nickname.
• When initially registering to fring, you will be alerted of all your GSM and social community friends who are already fringsters. Once you start using fring, we’ll let you know when other friends become fringsters by clicking Options>Manage buddies > Friend finder.

These new features currently work on all Symbian devices; Windows Mobile and iPhone are coming soon. Full feature- list for the new version can be found here. Get your new version today.

A full feature- list for the new version can be found here.

Have fun - and as always, let us know how the new unifying fring works for you!

Hey guys

In line with your feedback and the phenomenal explosion of Twitter, we’ve just released an all new Twitter 2.0 Add-on for fring, with stacks of new features to excite your fingers and thumbs even more.

You can view other Twitter profiles, check-out your own followers and see who’s following you.

A new keyword search enables you to keep on top of a particular topic, and with our cool new look and feel and you can also open links like Tiny URL’s in your incoming Tweets.

Finally, something that loads of you have asked for, you can switch-off the beep sound when you receive Tweets, so it will just Twitter away silently without interrupting you every couple of seconds.

There are two ways to get your hands on the new Twitter 2.0 Add-on… If you have a Windows Mobile, just go to the Add-ons tab inside fring, unsubscribe from the old Twitter & re-subscribe to the new Add-on. And if you’re a Symbian handset owner, simply download the new fring version 3.37 first, unsubscribe from the old Twitter & re-subscribe to the new Add-on.

And there’s more… in line with fring’s belief in openness, we’ve also released the source code to our new Twitter 2.0 Add-on, so all you clever developers out there can take a look at a great example of how to use fring’s API for developing Add-on applications of your own. Check out the fring developer zone here and see how easy it is to create and take cool apps mobile with fring!
