Fullscreen guestbooks



Imageloop upgraded its guestbook widget today to support
fullscreen display. It is enabled in all new guestbooks by
default but older guestbooks might need to replace their old HTML
code to make it work.

Enjoy the new feature and give us plenty of feedback!

Finding friends with imageloop guestbooks

Ever since the dawn of Web 2.0, social communities have been very important places
to meet new, interesting people and learn of the hottest trends even before the traditional
medias could pick up.

Today, imageloop has released a new tool that will push this trend even further.
The new guestbook allows you to stay in touch with all your friends and attract
more from around the globe!





With the effort of just one click, anyone can send you comments and you can keep track of them
with the included geotagging-feature!

To make things interesting, you’re not limited to the same old boring look&feel, but can stylize
your guestbook with several exclusive skins. No more boredom on your page.

Start pimping your guestbook now!

Storage upgrade successful

The mantainance work has been finished successfully. The measured time in which errors or lag of slideshows were perceptible, was about 7minutes.
We implemented an new storage system manufactured by EMC. This system will provide us with a larger volume for the content. Furthermore we expect a much better performance.

Regards,

Stephan

System upgrade

We will be updating our system to meet our users needs by 10 AM today and will
be back up and running by noon.

You might experience missing images in new slideshows during this period, but rest
assured that all images will return during the day.

We are working hard to build a better home for your photos.

Imageloop.com Releases Free Slideshow Creation Toolkit For Webmasters Offering Seamless IFrame Integration

Webmasters are challenged every day to provide valuable information and new benefits to their audience. They can now offer full slideshow functionality by easily integrating the imageloop Partner Tool into their layout. Imageloop claims the integration to be hassle-free thanks to the ‘Easy IFrame Integration’.

Web 2.0 slideshow provider imageloop.com just released a powerful free tool targeting all webmasters interested in enriching their websites with slideshow functionalities.

The so-called ‘imageloop Partner Tool’ enables webmasters to offer their users powerful slideshow features which can replace or expand existing photo features. Here are some examples:

  • (Social) Communities can enable their users to create profile slideshows which show up right beside the classic profile photos, giving users much more room for creative self-portrayal, e.g. in respect of transition effects, colors or even skins.
  • Marketplaces can allow all sellers (or maybe only their premium sellers) to create slideshows presenting their offered products. Showing these slideshows on the product details pages could possibly prove to be a strong sales tool as an animated slideshow appeals much more to buyers than simple static photos.
  • Online Gaming Communities can invite their users to create summary slideshows of all highlight scenes captured during a successful run.

The integration of those imageloop slideshow features into an existing website is done seamlessly via an easy IFrame integration. This kind of integration allows the adoption of look and feel of the slideshow functionalities to the existing website. This is important as the user will stay on webmaster’s website even while conducting slideshow procedures - for example the slideshow creation process through photo uploading.

Both existing and new photos can be easily transformed into slideshows. An intelligent XML handover process - either initiated through a user’s click or through automation – provides powerful options. One of these options is the automatic slideshow update via RSS feed on a regular basis. This can provide significant additional value e.g. for rating (Top 10 Slideshows), sports (Current Team Lineup Slideshows) or news (Top News Slideshows) portals.

Convenient Ready-to-Go PHP and JSP packages of the imageloop Partner Tool invite all webmasters to give it a quick try. They can be downloaded for free from the imageloop.com website.
