We are happy to announce some fixes and some new features in our new build that went live today. Check it out!

We support Google Chrome

Yes, the much awaited Tell-a-Friend widget support for the new Google Chrome browser is here. Thanks for being so patient.

TypePad users – you can now use Tell A Friend!

Tell-a-Friend can now be embedded in TypePad Pro and Premium blogs. If TypePad Plus and Basic support template modifications, we willl have Tell-a-Friend for them too.

Fixes done for IE6

Tell-a-Friend widget now works fine on IE6. We thank all our users, especially Steve Bonneau, who mentioned in detail the compatibility issues related to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. Those fixes are done. Phew!

Fixed the Rich Text Editor for Firefox 3

The rich text editor of the widget wasn’t working in Firefox 3. That works well now.

Button loads now “zippingly” fast

We already use gzipping of scripts for the widget. Now we also gzip scripts that load with Tell-a-Friend button. This should increase the performance of the page that embeds Tell-a-Friend. Now we only load 6.5KB of Javascript the first time the button loads. And that will reload only if there is a new version of the Javascript.

Configurable providers list

In the Tell-a-Friend wizard, you can now switch off providers that are not relevant for your users. So you can now turn on or off, say AIM from the the list of Instant Messengers that your users see.

We love to hear from you. So try the new version of Tell-a-Friend and keep the feedback coming!!

Here is a small video that explains how Tell-a-Friend could be useful to your site visitors/blog readers.

Word of Mouth is the best Marketing tool. and we strongly believe in making it powerful for websites and blogs to benefit. We intend to make Tell-a-Friend the best-in-class and most widely used WOMM tool.
