More Fun For Guests - And RIA Services

I've recently changed the way guest accounts are supported in myOSity.  Previously, all guests shared the same account on the back-end, meaning that I had to disable certain features that required unique accounts - like chat.  Now visitors who choose to login as a guest will receive a temporary unique account.  Very soon I will be implementing an auto-join to a public chat channel for all guests, so that folks can experience the chat system and interact with each other in real-time.

I'm also in the midst of redesigning the web-services component of myOSity to take full advantage of the new "RIA Services" framework from Microsoft.  After careful evaluation, I feel this is the right way to go for the long-term.  Without getting too technical, using RIA Services will simplify the way that myOSity client/server interaction happens.  I'm hopeful this will yield performance benefits, and also make future development easier and faster.

What is myOSity?

myOSity is a On-Demand Operating System that runs in your browser.  You can run applications, work with files, keep in touch and share things with your friends, and more.  The goal of myOSity is to combine the best aspects of operating systems and social networking, while hopefully leaving out all the annoying stuff.
