We just pushed a new release of Approver.com to the site. With this release, we’ve removed support for a couple of features of Approver.com. We are doing this to streamline the Approver.com experience, and also because the number of users who had ever utilized these features were very small. The changes we made today will support a planned major rewrite of Approver.com that we are hoping to launch early next year.
The affected features are:
- Support for embedding Meebo chat windows in document approval windows. Of course, we still support comments on documents, and you can still create a chat window using Meebo or any comparable chat product (such as Skype, AIM, or Yahoo! Messenger) outside of the Approver.com document review page to collaborate with document reviewers in real time. We just don’t support the notion of embedding the Meebo chat window in the web browser.
- Support for publishing documents to a blog. To reference an Approver.com document from a blog, simply make the document public, then link to its public URL from a blog post. In the planned revision of Approver.com we’re working on ways to make public access to your files and documents much easier, and this is the first step in that direction.
Thanks as always for using Approver.com, and please let us know if you have any feedback.
