UDSide claims that WebSpeakup can be used on any site: "while shopping, while on dating sites. Users can use it on websites of the companies employing them and on other official sites...Users have full control of their visibility and how others see them. WebSpeakup offers, easy to use, privacy modes. Users can hide where they are or completely disable the application with a single click." The software, appears as an expandable window in Explorer. It allows members to see the web page that one of their friends is viewing and to post comments. For example, if a WebSpeakup user is looking at someone's profile on an dating site, their friends can also see that profile and all the comments that other members of their group have posted about the person. Members of the WebSpeakup community can rate websites and other members can view the cumulative member rating for those sites. "You can discover new sites: on product pages you can share reviews, opinions and discussions," Dory Zidon, director of business development, sales and marketing for UDSide said. "You an even use it as a professional tool to discuss companies, events, conventions and job ads." UDSide is launching WebSpeakup in public beta, five months after obtaining seed funding. It says its roadmap for future functionality includes "topic based discussions, social networks integration and many new exciting web 3.0 features." A short video tour of WebSpeakup is available here . The public beta runs on Windows under IE 5, 6 or 7 and can be downloaded from here . But be quick: the company is limiting beta customers to 2500 and as at 12:00 AEST on January 25, almost 1000 users had already registered.
