It’s been a while since we’ve updated, sorry! We have been upgrading Kwyno’s backend for some improvements in the future. Today we finally added a new command that has been requested by many. Kwyno now offers the ability for you to translate words into other languages by a very simple to use translate command.

The translate command is very simple to use, just type -
translate wordtotranslatehere languagetotranslatehere
Example: translate hello french

You don’t need to type in the language that is being translated from, Kwyno will automatically detect it for you.

We hope you enjoy the update, and as always please send your much appreciated feedback!

All the best,
Kwyno Staff

We have made some minor updates to Kwyno, mostly on our side to make sure that things are a bit smoother. We have some general updates coming up this week, hopefully Wednesday. If you see Kwyno going down tomorrow please don’t be alarmed, we’ll be editing some minor database issues we found this week.

Thanks for the feedback, we really do appreciate it.

All the best,
Kwyno Staff

Thanks for checking the Kwyno blog, as you may have noticed Kwyno wasn’t updated this weekend. The reason why we didn’t push an update this weekend is simple, we didn’t have much ready. The new commands that are being added to the Kwyno website are still being tested to make sure that they all work, and there are some good addons for next week. We are adding the ability for you to view websites inside of Kwyno, check a RSS story in the website and some other cool stuff.

Our apologies for not updating this weekend, but good stuff is headed your way!

All the best,
Kwyno Staff

Hope you had a fantastic Christmas! We’ve been hard at work here on Kwyno and today we had our first update! Kwyno’s overall speed should be a bit faster now, we made some modifications to the backend and you should feel things going a little smoother. The digg, digguser command have been moved as a child command to the “check” command, so instead of typing in “digg” or “digguser kevinrose” you now type “check digg” or “check digguser kevinrose”; we have also decided to remove support for the “diggrandom” command, it no longer works. Another very requested feature was Google Talk support, we have made that possible too – just go to your IM settings and configure your Google Talk account there. A new “help” command has been introduced as well. If you don’t want to go to the commands page to view a list of commands just type in “help” and we’ll make sure you get help from the homepage, no need to click around.

Don’t forget to submit feedback!

We have some new updates being built already for next Friday. We hope that you have a fantastic New Year’s Eve!

All the best,
Kwyno Staff

We received a few emails yesterday about kwynoweb, our AIM and Yahoo! bot signing on and off a few times yesterday. We have taken care of the problem and kwynoweb should be running with no problems within the next few hours. We also wanted to let you know that GTalk and Jabber support is coming soon as well, thanks to repeated feedback.

All the best,
Kwyno Staff

The Kwyno staff would like to thank all of ours users for the amazing feedback we’ve received in the last few days. We are setting up Kwyno’s development environment up so that we can get to building the new features requested. We want to thank you for trying Kwyno out in its early days, and we would like to let you know that there’s only new services / features coming up ahead – so stick around!

By next Friday you should see a few changes to Kwyno’s commands. One of the most requested features were for us to change Digg’s commands to a child command of “check”. So instead of typing in digg, digguser or diggrandom you would just type in “check digg”. This reduces the amount of stuff that you’ll have to remember later on when we support more services. The feed reader will be improved as well with the ability to “view” an article and an ability to view past articles.

Thanks for your continued feedback!

All the best,
Kwyno Staff

P.S. Have you followed us on Twitter yet?

The SMS gateway is still under development and should be available shortly, however, our AIM and Yahoo bot is ready to serve you! Once you sign up just head on to your account’s page and link your screename. Make sure you take a look around and set everything up according to your settings!

We thank you for taking your time for trying out the Kwyno beta, and we hope to see you here along with us with every feature to come.

All the best,
Kwyno Staff
