A while back I discussed one of my newer web applications called Apricot, a small application aimed towards small teams wanting a central place to communicate and share information.

It was set to have a beta release early June but with some things not working on the production server (online), it has been delayed until all the bugs are ironed out for a beta release. Thankfully, I have a good friend from MeltingIce.net helping me out on some of the issues and optimizing the entire application.

Hopefully I will be able to have a release date soon. Keep your fingers crossed!

As the first development stage (beta, duh) of Apricot narrows down, I think it’s a good time to give a quick overview of what it is and how it will work.

Apricot is aimed at people who want an easy way to setup a quick chat room that they can share with friends, family of work colleagues. Upon registration, Apricot will automatically setup the room for you with the correct name and from day one start a complete history of your chat room.

Everything can be found on the Apricot Home page. Account settings, chat room settings and even your room history. With an AJAX powered home page, your content is presented in fast, intuitive and easy to use interface.

I will give a more in-depth look into the workings of Apricot as launch date gets closer (June 12th), so be sure to check back regularly.
