February 23rd 2009 Upgrades
On Feb. 23, we're releasing new video, photos, and music players as well as the major improvements to Chat. There will also be a few more visual changes you may notice as well.
Today, our social network comes with video, photos, and music players that are uniquely branded for the Slungle social network. We can take these media players and embed them anywhere on the Internet, directing people back to Slungle. Best of all, we can fully customize them to have our colors and brand, which makes them totally integrated with Slungle's look and feel even when they are embedded all over place.
In this release, the video, photos, and music players on Slungle are are getting a new design and a few more features. These new media players should give us even more ways to watch and share Slungle's videos, photos, and music or podcasts with each other on our social network or across the Internet.
New Video Player
The New Video Player will assume the colors of Slungle automatically: The (high) video quality remains the same and the video player itself has a new design with updated icons and controls that match the theme and colors of Slungle. Better yet, the buttons disappear when you move your mouse away from the controls. It will also play related or latest videos in a video playlist available at the end of each video.
New Photos Player
New Music Player
Last but not least, here's the new music player:
Aside from the new visual design — which takes on our network's theme and colors — it’s quick and easy to jump around between songs and playlists are much easier to view and use. You can sort playlists by track number, title, artist, album or by the name of the person who added the track.
And, just as before, you can activate shuffle or repeat mode, change the volume, and rate songs. Your members can also pop out the music player into a new window, allowing them to continue listening to uninterrupted music as we browse through Slungle.
When these media players go live, there unfortunately won't be the option to keep our existing player design. While we generally look to keep current options available, this is one of those cases - like the new Latest Activity feature - where we need to update it across the board. We welcome your feedback and will look to continue to improve them as we move forward.
New Chat
As we've mentioned previously, Chat will now be persistent at the bottom of every page of Slungle. You will have the option to open the chat in a larger window.
As for new features, there are audio notifications and a few more functions. Here's our latest post on it.
A Few More Improvements
Rounding out the improvements in this release are a number of visual design changes.
We’ve also removed the requirement for you to add an image when creating events and groups. As a result, we have new default event, group, and video images. You can also replace the default event or group image with your own choice, just like what you can do today with your default member avatar.
In smaller changes, we're updating the bar at the top of Slungle with a few minor link adjustments and changing the button styles to make actions more obvious.
If you should have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact administration.
