WeBot beta 1.0

WeBot private Beta release 1.0

It's finally here after sweating over every square inch of the app all summer. So, what's under the hood?

music music music photos photos photos iPhone iPhone iPhone.

• the WeBot app allows you to access your entire music library and entire photo library no matter how many machines you may have them strung out over. 1.0 has a simple bot that you place each machine that holds music or photos and then when you log in to WeBot from anywhere on the net, you can stream your songs and playlists and view you photos. Tre cool.
• iPhone -- yep, the magic word has been spoken. We built an iPhone interface so you can listen to your tracks and view your photos on the go. no more 4gig or 8 gig limits. no more uploading or syncing. That's so last century.
• playlists and collections. you can build as many playlists from your music libraries as you like. Build them across multiple machines and stream them anywhere.
• photo slide shows. set your photo directories to display as thumbnails or display in a slide show with transitions as short as 3 secs or as long as you like.
• auto-update your content. Yeppers, when you add some additional photos to a directgory or rip some songs from the CD you bought into your music directory, the new media is auto updated. no boring housekeeping of un-sharing then re-sharing folders. We do it for you and make your life easy.

What's next? We'll be rolling out features every week as well as fixing bugs and polishing every corner. Look for features, like TIVO integration, playlist sharing, social networking -- friends and groups of friends to share streaming and viewing content. head on over to the wishlist thread and let us know what you think.

Bugs

yuck we hate em, but if you'll help us find em, we'll snuff em out as quickly as we can. a

I'll start threads around particularly heinous bugs, but this thread will serve as a repository for breaking bug news -- both daylighting and fixit announcements.

general feedback

Hey waddya think? This thread is your direct pipe to the WeBot product department. we're here and want to listen to what you've got to say about what we've built, what you think we shouldn't have built, and what you think we should build next.

We're not kidding, Sport. We'll be rolling out new features and enhancements as quickly as we can and we value real world input to avoid "built by engineers strictly for engineers" syndrome.

So pipe up let us know what you think. Come up with an idea for a new feature or fixing a major feature that we bloggered and maybe we'll send you a coolio hat or some other bit of priceless schwag.

thanks,

BT

Day one

Welcome to day one of the WeBot public blog. Grab this feed to stay up to date on all things bot-ish as we'll be posting product release notes, features in progress, handy tips and general discussion thangs here as often as possible. Feel free to jump in and comment, we really want to hear what you think and will act upon your wishes to a reasonable degree -- we probably will pass on pitches for hoverboards or support for magical unicorns. We'll listen as we want to be entertained as much as the next guy, but physics and science and credulity have their limits.

Thanks for coming by and we hope you'll speak up and participate. We like you, we really do.
