Just Released .5 or 50

We just rolled out a very big release for us. We made some quite big architectural changes that our users won’t notice, but behind the scenes are rather large.

Here is the top level list of features and changes:

We added a ’subscribe’ button to every users’ channel. There are three ways users can subscribe to other user channels; via email, via SMS or through RSS. Everytime a user uploads a file, they are sent an email, sms or standard RSS updates. We are excited about this feature especially for the implications on the mobile application. A user can upload a multimedia file (video, photo, audio or text) and if they’re friends are subscribed to their channel via SMS, they will  get a message and see the new content in ‘real time.’ This  innovation, where a user uploads a video and is made available instantly on mobile phones, is not available anywhere else and we are excited to have our users start playing with it.

We changed our ‘logged out’ home page with a simpler message, ‘Your videos, your photos, anytime, anywhere.’ We also added featured content on the home page so people can see some of the great content our users have contributed to the site.

We cleaned up design across the site, still getting to those last pages that need design attention. This will hopefully make for better ease of use and navigation.

We added better share functions. We now allow users to customize the message and send to a users’ mobile phone number.

There are some other smaller features, but those are the biggest.

We now will take a bit of a break for the holidays and come back and continue to add more features. We’d love to hear your feedback.

Thanks - have a great Holiday Season!
