Personal & Federation
August 19, 2011 by Daniël
We’ve got a big announcement to make: From today we’re making it possible to start your own personal (@peers.me) wave inbox. And if you got a network account, you can start with federated connections to other network accounts.
Personal account @peers.me May 17th, we announced we are working hard on personal accounts for Peers.me. With a personal wave inbox ([yourname]@peers.me) you can start waving with others without the need to create a network account.
You can start a personal account here!
Is it free? It sure is, but a donation would be appreciated. Personal Peers.me is a free service. And we want to keep it that way. Eventually our business model will lean on our API’s for integrating Peers.me in business processes. We plan to launch them by the end of this year. Until then your donation helps us keeping your @peers.me private and ads free.Can I invite others? Yes you can, just start a wave and enter an email address. We’ll be sending an invite to the email address to create an account and access the wave.
What’s the difference between personal and network account? A personal account is available for everyone. With a network account you’ll have your own subdomain for your organisation. You can create and manage groups and you’ll have complete administrative control over the API, federation settings, number of users and more. Most small businesses and NGO’s go for a network account.
Federation If it’s up to us, everyone has a wave address for easy group communication. And you should be able to share a wave with any other wave address. That’s why we introduce federation between network accounts and public accounts.
Can I federate with any Peers.me domain? Yes you can. Just contact us to arrange the connection. Remember, you’ll have to get permission by the administrator of the other domain.
Can I federate with the personal network (as described above)? Yes, but contact us to arrange the connection.
How do I share a wave with someone on my federated network? Start a wave, enter the complete wave address of the participant (eg. john@company.peers.me). Make sure the domain is federated with your domain. You can check this at your admin page.
