WeBot on Download.com

Ayup, Download.com put us up on their site today. And our servers are feeling the crush. It's a nice crush. ;-) At the moment it's only the Windows version of WeBot that you can snag (for free, of course) with a quick click and 14.3 mb of hd space. But reliable sources tell me you can expect to see the Mac and Linux links put up on Download.com straight away. Please drop by and give us a positive comment and a nice rating, if you'd be so kind. Tell you friends cause within the next few weeks you'll get your Happy Hannukwanzamas present -- sharing content between friends on WeBot. Keep your eyes on this spot and I'll keep you up to the minute informed of the upcoming fun.

ciao,

BT

new release -- kinda stealth-ish

We pushed out a new build last night -- nothing earthshaking, more back-end type stuff and some important foundational nuts and bolts for the upcoming sharing release that is being built as I type and as you read. One most excellent addition however is a fall back reg/sign in screen to go along with a direct download link. that is, you can now download the .exe (.dmg and tar to follow soon) without going to WeBot.com and signing in. clicking on http://s3.webot.com/webot-installer.exe will serve you the windows .exe file and after installation a pop up screen will enable to to sign in with your current account or create a new one. Tre chic. Other new stuff a-coming along with sharing will be password recovery in case your memory is as faulty as mine, newsletter sign up out in/out, a user home page. tons of stuff.

Keep your eyes peeled as Marcus and Seth are working like crazed weasels to get sharing buffed up and ready to go and you're not gonna wanna miss this release.

ciao and happy bird day.

Total love for all things iTunish

From the, "necessary things that are just around the corner" department......

In our testing labs at this very moment is one more major step toward full Mac integration. Auto detection and indexing of your iTune library and playlist. Kaboom. When this is released (which should be very soon as I personally saw it pass the first two tests today) you'll have all your iTunes music (and someday... videos) indexed and searchable as well as the playlists you lovingly put together showing up in the music playlist panel.

This may sound like small potatoes, but boy howdy, I'll do it. I'll admit that although I use my iTunes thangy pretty much every day to listen to podcasts of all the radio shows I'm missing by having to work for a living, I never really looked on my hd to see where the application lives. And now i don't have to. Nice,. One more thing I don't have to think about or commit to memory. I like automatic brain cell saving devices. Yes, indeed, WeBot is making me smarter; not to mention simplifying my life by making it so i don't have to sync my iPod every night to get at my podcasts. Now I can just plug some headphones into my iPhone and everything I need is at hand. Sweet.

New for November --Custom photo albums

Yeppers, we pushed photo collections (albums) live today. Now instead of having to go to your hard drive and copy and move photos around to create custom directories for slide shows, you can do it all from within the WeBot application.

Go to the photo page and call up any folder of photos. drag and drop the images into the album photo list (bottom left). You can open and draw from as many folders as you like and can make your custom album as big as you like. Like?

When you're happy, save the album. then you can display it as a full-screen screensaver or a slideshow within the WeBot application. It's easy as a walk in the park and as simple as pie.















coming up next.... --> sharing these albums with your friends. Todays release is one more foundational layer of what will eventually be the full blown WeBot social media player.

enjoy......

Apple adds WeBot to its offical web apps directory

wo0t, we've been added to the Apple iPhone web applications directory. it was only a matter of time as we built WeBot to work with Macs and iPhones from day one (as well as Linux and windows) and the response from early adapters has been breathtakingly positive.

WeBot adds a "no limits" aspect to streaming music on your iPhone that was undreamed of in the olden days of only having 4 or 8 Gb of storage space. No more picking and choosing which 8 Gb of your 58 GB music collection to upload to your iPhone. Nope, you can have it all and have it now. That's hot.

It's really quite easy. You create a WeBot account and automatically get the proper app download for your platform , be it Mac, Win or Linux (we believe in cross platform free love). Place a separate bot on each machine where you've music or photos stored and associate said music with the bot. Then whip out your iPhone, wherever you may find yourself in your daily travels, open up the web browser and go to WeBot.com Log in to your account and search/browse/access ALL your media. It's like having a couple of gigantic hard drives strapped to your back without the chafing. This is the future, bubba. No more uploading, no more syncing, no more limits.
