As many of you will have noticed on Friday we handed out 5 invites to all our existing users. All our existing users are getting 5 invites. Find them here: http://www.soocial.com/invites in your account now. We will be giving new users invites soon as well – trying to manage the influx of users as best we can. As soon as we think it wise we’ll be giving more invites.

Why invites your friends?
Three reason why you should send out invites to your friends. Your friends get:
- full two-way sync between phones, Macs and GMail
- automatic backup of their contacts, never lose contacts again!
- automatic merging of duplicates, no pesky doubles
- edit contacts on a big screen, no more tiny phone edit menus
- it’s free!
- will soon get Outlook and Blackberry support too!
Ok, ok, more than 3 reasons (and there are heaps more!) but you get the idea. 
Progress update
A lot of work has been done in the last few weeks, the following updates to Soocial have happened:
- Multiple delete
- Scaling & performance improvements
- Improvements in merging
- Better phone support: Nokia Series 60 (E61, N80, N95, N96 etc.)
Outlook and Blackberry support is underway, we have functioning alpha’s running internally — hope to be able to release soon!
A bit silly…
Through some silly error on our part we didn’t start our merging jobs correctly so everybody trying to sync didn’t see their contacts show up in the webapp. This was because the queue wasn’t working and thus the sync would keep contacts in transit forever. We have fixed the problem, put some warnings in place to make sure it won’t happen again and now the merging queue’s have nearly caught up with all the new users syncing for the first time.
Sorry about that.

Can’t wait to see BlackBerry and/or outlook support! Let me know if you need help testing.
I’d love to give your Blackberry sync a try – any chance of Hotmail sync?
