Fring has released the very first fringAdd-ons, include a handy mobile version of social networks, video streaming and email notification applications directly from within fring.

Fring users, or fringsters can now get real-time updates to Facebook and Google’s social network orkut. With the help of Gmail notifier fringAdd-on, you will get alerts whenever there is new email. Lastly, the VTap will provide you a mobile video search and streaming service.

fring-Add-ons are completely free of charge to activate and are integrated into fring, complementing the existing communication features. To activate the new fringAdd-ons, fringsters simply need to subscribe to their selected fringAdd-ons from the new “Manage Add-ons” menu (Options>Settings>Manage Add-ons). Once selected, the fringAdd-on applications appear as familiar icons in the fringster’s Contact List. The “Manage Add-ons” menu will be continually updated and new fringAdd-ons will automatically appear in the Menu as they become available.
