quub Advances Real-Time Web by Taking Status Updates Into the Future
Future Tab Makes quub a Real-Time Virtual Personal Assistant with Google Calendar Connection and Flexibility for Users to Pre-Load Status Updates
Irvine, CA, June 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- quub, a new tool designed to make continuous status updates quick and painless, has increased its functionality by adding a future tab that allows users to schedule status updates ahead of time and import events from Google Calendar. By allowing quub contacts to see other users’ future plans, quub becomes a shared social presence calendar on top of a way to communicate current status.
The future tab enables users to share their future plans with select contacts. When users schedule a future presence status update in the future tab, they can indicate which groups in quub will be able to see this presence. They can also set their status to automatically update when the time comes to allow status updates to always be real-time. People or groups that are able to see the future status updates when their scheduled time arrives can also see the future presence before it updates, so if they wish to accommodate it or add it to their own future presence schedule, they can.
By importing events from their Google Calendar, users can also schedule quub updates based on their work or home schedule in just a few simple steps. When users click on the future tab they can import their entire Google calendar and then selectively choose the events they want to share, as well as whom to share the events with.
“We designed the future tab to expand quub’s utility, really becoming a shared social calendar,” said George Ruan, quub co-founder and CEO. “While we began quub as a real-time status update tool, we knew that to truly take advantage of it’s functionality, we would need to help our users map out status updates and make them automated so they can connect even more easily with friends, family and co-workers. This is one of many new functions that make quub the ideal micropresence tool.”
