We’ve done it! Starting today, you can post comments directly from uberVU. How does this work?

• You add a service to uberVU, such as Blogger or Picasa.
• We get your content, and you can also post
• You can see all the reactions that your content gets on the platforms where it’s posted
• You can then reply directly from uberVU. The comment gets sent to the appropriate service. (If you got a comment on Flickr, your reply will go to Flickr)

We’re really happy about this, as it is a turning point from uberVU. uberVU has taken the first step towards becoming a CONVERSATIONAL PLATFORM. We’re not just a publishing/management platform anymore.

It might seem little at first, but it’s just the first step. We’ve started moving in this direction and we hope we’re on to some great things. You’ll get to experience some over the summer hopefully.

For now, log in to uberVU and give the commenting a try. Feedback highly appreciated.

We’ve been working our asses off for the past 2 months to bring you the Private Beta 2. Well, it’s finally here. We’ve worked on some major improvements over the last version.

Basically, in Private Beta 2 you can:

• Get your content from, edit it and also publish it on: Wordpress, Blogger, MovableType, TypePad, Flickr, Picasa, YouTube, Vimeo
• Integrate videos and whole photo galleries from Flickr/Picasa right into your blog posts. uberVU will automatically display galleries for you. You just select the photos to display in the gallery and we do the rest
• Post an item once and have it displayed on multiple services
• See all the responses/reactions your content gets on all the services you posted it to

Under the hood we have a much faster sync system and we’re working with OAuth for the authentication/authorization part. This means uberVU is faster and we also don’t store your passwords. If you have a Flickr account, for example, you give Flickr your password and authorize uberVU from inside Flickr. No password whatsoever gets to us. Major improvement!

The best part is that this is only the beginning. In the coming months we plan the following features:

• Posting comments from inside uberVU. You’ll see the reactions your content gets on all the services you posted it to, and you’ll be able to reply to those comments right from inside uberVU
• Updating your status on Facebook and Twitter
• Publishing your conversations to your public uberVU page

We’re also thinking about creating uberVU.org, which will be an open conversational platform based on semantic standards, such as SIOC and FOAF. But more on this intriguing idea later on. For now, we’re just happy we could get you more features that you can play with in Private Beta 2. We’re very, very excited about this.

So, what can you do to help out? It’s easy. Just test out uberVU, send invites to your friends and write us a review if you like using it. Also, don’t be shy and send us your feedback and suggestions to our cool GetSatisfaction account. We love GetSatisfaction and we’re sure you will too.

Looking forward to seeing you inside uberVU!

We have an uberVU GetSatisfaction account up and running. Please do stop by to share any thoughts, ideas, problems or bugs. We’re using it ourselves to post any problems we find with uberVU.

We went to Cluj this weekend to present uberVU at GeekMeet. The very interesting location (a photo cafe), the dozens of interesting and very skilled geeks and the interesting set of presentations meant we were going to present at a top event with high expectations.

What was supposed to be a short presentation turned into a live demo of uberVU. We demoed the app for 5 minutes and then we had a short discussion around the product. We were very happy about that, as people seemed pretty interested and hit us with some tough questions.

DataPortability issues, traffic stealing, or keeping context around a conversation are themes that reappear again and again during our presentations and we’re happy that uberVU is a conversation starter about these important issues.

What’s best about this is the fact that people are starting to get why what we’re doing is important and how it’s related to the way conversations will take place online in the near future.

All in all, GeekMeet was a great event for us and we’re looking forward to going there again.
