ScrapBoy Version 2.0

Well I have already posted a post about ScrapBoy Version 1 in the past..
But now there has been a new released by them..

It is of course better then the previous one but is it good enough ??
lets find out.

PROS

Receive Instant notifications for new scraps
It's as simple as that. When you recieve a new scrap, Scrapboy will bring it to your desktop in the same way that you are used to with any other Messenger.



Send Instant Scraps from your Desktop

With Scrapboy you can send scraps from your desktop with the same convenience as writing an instant message.




Format Your Scraps
Now you can format your scrap easily. You can also look at Multiple scrapbooks at the same time. Add smileys and all that stuff by simple clicks

Access your FriendList more easily (Search through your friends)
well this is a great feature i like.. You can scroll through all your friends and also search your friends.

You can Block any friends scrap notification you want.

Navigate more easily
well here have a look at this :
See who is Online
Note: Scrapboy also will inform you of new friend requests, upcoming birthdays, as well as your fans.

See Other People Album

You can also scrap them without going to there profile

CONS:

Jotting down all the pros, was an easy task. Their website and testimonials helped me through. But the cons were what I knew I would have to dig for, yet were so very obvious.

  • First of all it was a heavy setup to download. I would not mind if it was worth it at the end of it.
  • While using scrapboy, you are not notified if a friend is online or not. By logging into your orkut account, there is a module that atleast gives you a clue which friends of yours were last online.
  • If you have grouped your friends on orkut, scrapboy does not reflect the same. It does not allow you to make new groups either.
  • There is no option to delete any scrap. If you receive any offensive scrap and would like to delete it, you need to login to orkut through your browser. If you need to delete your own scrap that u posted erroneously, again you need to login to orkut to delete that. Then why the hell do you need scrapboy!!
  • The software is slow and hangs up for few seconds while downloading new scraps. In all it’s a badly written software with many bugs around too.
  • I am not able to see any pictures in my scrapboy messenger. All i see is a no photo image :(
  • This software only shows me the first few scraps in my scrapbook when i click on View More... it just hangs up
  • You cannot send links through this software.. well I send a lot of links to my friends...but i can't do that using this software it gives an error.

Well there are many advantages of this But there are also disadvantages of using this software.
I would rather remain at orkutting then using this software..
Hope the next version is even better then this one.

In your CONS, you wrote, and I quote "If you visit your friend’s scrapbook through scrapboy and would like to scrap somebody else in his scrapbook, you can’t. Also there is no link by which you can reply to your friend’s scrap. You need to go back to the friends list, choose your friend and then scrap him. What a waste of time and effort contrary to the software ideology!".
You need to check an application thoroughly before posting CONS on it. Scrapboy DOES equipped with a way to reply to your friend’s scrap. In the REPLY box there is a round button at the upper left corner with a boy picture inside of it. Click this button and see what's happen.

This is a software - It doesn't know nothing about the scraps you had before you installed it. Sure it will show you only the scraps you got since you install it.

Have fun.

sorry my mistake

@ anonymous

well...even if it is a software...it should be able to show us our scraps from our scrapbook...not the only scraps which we got after installing this software...
