Refocused on Search & Discovery
Last Fall just days after we launched a FriendFeed via IM service, FriendFeed turned on their own native IM interface. You may have concluded from our inactivity since then that we’ve since shelved plans to expand the service. You’re right. We’re happy to see FriendFeed provide this functionality natively, and have been shifting our focus.
A little over a week ago, FriendFeed...

Service Restored
We’ve resolved the issues with our XMPP server and Enjit is back online.
You may also see improved stability and more accurate presence info after this restart.
Thank you for your patience.

Service Outage
The service is down right now. We’re having some problems with our XMPP server. It’s not hardware… just a configuration issues… so it shouldn’t take long to resolve.

Thanks to everyone who’s been trying the service, providing feedback, and keeping us up-to-date on bugs and performance issues over at GetSatisfaction.
Last night we had some sort of DNS problem that took the service down, and there were subsequent issues around XMPP presence. Specifically, the service wasn’t publishing it’s presence properly and was ignoring commands.

What's Next?
In no particular order, some of the things we’re working on:
Stability and Reliability (ok, that really is #1)
Select which lists (Home, Personal, Professional, etc) you’d like to follow
Select rooms you’d like to follow
Select users you’d like to follow
Issue like and hide commands from your IM client
Track!

Duplicate Items Issue
Last night while the service was stuck in a loop, some users may have tried to add their FriendFeed credentials more than once. This created multiple feeds for some users, and today those users were seeing duplicates of every item.
We’ve cleaned this extra feeds out of the database, and everything should be normal again.
We're Back!
We’ve fixed a bug, FriendFeed has reset our API limits, and we’re back.
The term “beta” is thrown around so often these days that perhaps we should’ve called this “alpha”. There’s a very low cap on the number of users right now, which we’ll be easing up as capacity and stability allows. If you try to sign up for the service and it tells you...
Update on the API Limit Issue
We’re in contact with FriendFeed, working to resolve the API issue. We hope to be back online shortly. Thanks for your patience!

We've hit FriendFeed's API Limit
Time to deal with the first major “beta” issue… Not long after Steve Gillmor wrote about Enjit on TechCrunchIT, users started seeing a stream of error messages as we seem to have hit FriendFeed’s API call limits. We’ll work with FriendFeed to resolve this as quickly and possible, but the service is offline in the mean time. Stay tuned.
Thank you for your interest in...
We're Live!
Enjit is an IM service that connects your Gtalk/XMPP/Jabber client to your FriendFeed real time feed. The service is in very early “beta”, and we’re limiting the number of users as we scale up our capacity. If you’re interested in the service, go ahead and sign up and we’ll message you over IM as we have space available.
