Scrapboy Digital Media Corporation announced the
availability of Scrapboy, its Facebook desktop application, to users in
“Most people have lots of friends in their Facebook profile,
but we all have an inner circle of friends that we stay closer to. These
are people that we want to chat with during the day, share photos with and
invite to our events and parties. Scrapboy helps Facebook users create
that inner circle of friends and track their notifications live on their
desktop,” comments Assaf Koren, President and CEO, Scrapboy Digital
Media. “We believe Scrapboy extends how people live their lives to their
Facebook world by letting them stay continually connected to the people they
are closest to.”
In one easy step, users download and install the application
on their computer. Once installed, just like an Instant Messaging
application, users sign in and Scrapboy delivers live updates.
In addition to making Facebook immediate and its content
secure to users, Scrapboy have added the following features:
- Control: users can set who they want to receive updates from and what kinds of updates they want from each friend – for example, tagged photos, events and status updates. This helps users stay closer to their inner circle of friends.
- Chat without a browser: a true IM experience and users can even share videos in the IM chat window.
- Event reminders: users can customize when they would like to receive event reminders – a month, a week, or a day away.
- One step removed – no longer: in Scrapboy you can see
notifications of public conversations within friends and be the first to see
photos you have been tagged in (helping you to untag the photo if need be,
before your other friends see it).
Scrapboy is also available to MySpace and Google Orkut users and can be downloaded at www.scrapboy.com, at Facebook and download.com.
