Fry Family Genealogy Chat

Today I’ve launched the latest addition to the FryGen project, FryGenChat.

After a lot of thought and many hours of research and testing I’ve decided to partner with Userplane to add a totally cost-free chat and web conference facility to all of the FryGen portals.

Userplane Webchat is truly the next step in chat software—beyond generic and ubiquitous chat rooms, Userplane Webchat is a feature-rich, multi-lingual, solidly-built, and easily used Flash App that enables real-time text messaging and streaming audio/video communication for FryGen portals. Leveraging Macromedia’s robust Flash Communication Server technology, Webchat enables the FryGen community to benefit from a scalable, centrally-hosted audio / video chat room for their users.

The FryGenChat system requires no software downloads and no software to be installed on a user’s computer, over and above Adobe / Macromedia Flash which the majority of computers already have installed and which is freely available for those who don’t already have it.

By bringing not just a feature rich chat system to the FryGen community but also an easy to use video chat / video conferencing option, Fry Family Genealogy researchers worldwide will be able to carry out real time video conference sessions at any time, bringing the community together and helping further with mutual fry family history research.

To benefit from the FryGenChat system you first need to create a username and password. Once you have done this you are free to set up your own rooms and invite others to join you at anytime.

The FryGenChat system is yet another tool to help you, I hope you find it useful.
