Instant Messenger to replace Yahoo IM
Bulkloads is currently working on a new version of our Instant Messenger to include key features from Yahoo messenger such as the ability to setup and send to groups. We will also have a desktop and mobile app version in addition to our current web-based messenger.
Here are some of the key features:
- All other Bulkloads members would automatically be in your ‘Friends’ list. - You can remove or block users if you wish.
- Ability to sort friends by user type (Carrier/Broker/Shipper).
- Ability to sort friends by user’s home state.
- Ability to search friends by name or company name
- Ability to create groups of users and send a broadcast message to everyone in the group.
An example of group creation: A Shipper sets up a group for all Carriers based in NE. Once this group is created they could then send a broadcast message to all NE based Carriers that are currently online.
We are also working a new Load Alerts feature. This will allow Carrier users to setup alert profiles on the types of loads they want to be alerted about. For example, if you want to be alerted about Hopper loads originating within 300 miles of Omaha, NE and going to NE, IL or MO. You will then be alerted via text message, email, IM or from our mobile app, whichever you choose.
Please reply with any feedback or ideas for the new Instant Messenger and Load Alerts features.
