The latest release of HeadsUp adds authentication through Google and so any consumer account or Google Apps account user can now lead discussions and create and manage topics, prompts and roles. I’m working on new documentation as well and will publish those as soon as possible.

Thanks for using HeadsUp. Please comment here with any feedback.

After months of work, we are almost finished with a completely new version of HeadsUp. The new version will have these special features:

• Public availability using Google logins
• Android (and others as they become popular) compatibility
• Better compatibility for any webkit-based browser
• Ability to save complete conversations rather than just components
• New URL: headsup.io

We’ve recently discovered some intermittent problems with the Google Chrome browser and iPads when using HeadsUp. Please use Safari whenever possible.

After several months of development by Harv McQueen to rewrite the server portion of the code, we’re back at ACU for in-house support and future development. We’ve run several tests recently and seen excellent performance and reliability and so we’ll be rolling HeadsUp out to ACU again in just a few weeks.
