VoxOx 1.0.1 Released

VoxOx just released a new version of their "Universal Communicator", which aims to combine VoIP, video, and social networks. VoxOx aims to take on Skype by offering more social networking features. Last year, I wrote an article titled Skype Could Trump Facebook in Social Networking, but Skype still hasn't added social networking functionality.

In any event, today version 1.0.1 was released, less than a month after their initial launch. I was never able to get the Facebook integration to work, but it was a beta release, so I'm hoping they worked out the kinks.

Here are some new features:

New Additions
? Status field set to your auto-response message when away
? Facebook icons link out to friends' profiles so you can write on their wall, private message them, etc
? View Facebook contact photos from their VoxOx Profile
? Text Message window remembers Mobile Numbers
? Chat to Email window remembers emails addresses

Bug Fixes
? Call-Back (Web and SMS) fully functional
? Fixed Crash bug when ending calls
? Added default group for new contacts to be saved
? Login screen text updated to "Login Automatically"
? Web Portal login back online

Some of the major updates they are working on include a new and improved user interface, more efficient memory utilization, smoother and faster SMS functionality, enhanced Facebook integration, MySpace integration, and Outlook & Mac address book integration.
