This morning we flipped the switch and brought Slife 1.3 and a new release of Slifeshare into the world. I am very excited about this new roll-out – this is really the best Slife yet, and we are also breaking some new ground.

Most of the new features had already been announced, except for one, the new Friends View. This is how it looks like:

The Friends View is meant to be used with Slifeshare. If you have an account and invite friends or colleagues, you can see what they are doing in real-time, through Slife itself.

Think of it as IM on steroids. You can share notes and see what your friends are listening to, see which online videos they’ve watched, which app they are using and more. This feature opens up a whole new dimension in live communications and social awareness. You can see the how-to for more details.

So, give it a try and let us know what you think. If you have Slife 1.2, just go to ‘Help>Check for Updates…’ and Slife will install the latest version for you.
