February 24, 2007 - SAN JOSE, California (Feb 20th, 2007): buddystumbler.com caters to individuals who want to meet new people to chat with over existing IM networks (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and Google/Jabber).
buddystumbler.com provides users with a simple search like interface and is unique in that it requires both parties to acknowledge interest before IM addresses are exchanged.
"There are millions of users on existing IM networks chatting with known friends, colleagues and family members. Until buddystumbler.com there wasn?t an easy way for these users to find other like-minded people to chat with." said Han, co-founder of buddystumbler.com.
The buddystumbler.com interface leverages the Web 2.0 paradigm and is built using the Ruby on Rails development framework. "The interface has been refined based on feedback during months of beta testing by hundreds of users" said Yim, UI architect and co-founder of buddystumbler.com. The site has received accolades from various Web 2.0 blogs.
"The launch is a milestone for the whole team and we are extremely excited. We are greatly appreciative of all the support from the user community." said Han. "We have more exciting features coming up later this summer, so stay tuned and happy stumbling!"
