A Platform for Embedded Social Interactions is the Sequel to FlockPod

Pune, September 15, 2008: Harbinger Knowledge Products today unveiled TeemingPod, a platform for embedded social interactions. For Web developers, TeemingPod provides a platform that helps build social interactions right inside their web applications or web sites. For users, TeemingPod provides a small place on any Web page to get together and to interact on-the-spot, while staying on the page.

TeemingPod is the sequel to FlockPod, Harbinger's earlier product for building on-the-spot social interactions. TeemingPod includes all the features of FlockPod, and adds flexibility as well as new features which help build powerful social interactions.

"We built TeemingPod because web developers need a platform to easily bring Web 2.0 to their web pages. With TeemingPod, you simply drop a piece of code in a page and your end-users get to interact on a stylish pod that floats right on the page. It's that easy. I invite developers to try it - they will love its flexibility as they use it more and more," said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director of Harbinger Group.

TeemingPod developers can easily customize the pod user interface. Users can view TeemingPod in three different orientations. Depending on how much screen space users need for their interactions, they can display TeemingPod in several sizes from a thumbnail to a full screen. Users access TeemingPod from any web page by simply installing a TeemingPod browser extension.

With TeemingPod's powerful search feature, users can search for content inside a specific activity or across activities in a pod. Search results provide convenient jump-off points to get directly into the activity where search content is found.

"With this release, FlockPod customers will be migrated to TeemingPod. This allows them to take advantage of the extensibility, configurability, powerful search and browser extension features in the new product at no extra cost," said Seema Chaudhary, Director - Business Development. "TeemingPod also extends FlockPod language support to several languages in addition to English."
