Video, Greeting Cards, and SmugMungous - November & December 2007

Whew! Last Friday we threw a 5th Anniversary party for many of our customers and announced the huge releases we’ve made recently.

Drum roll, please…

  • Video support you can write home about.

    No more limiting our SmugMuggers to 30 second mpeg-1 clips! We now support clips 2.5 minutes in length for Power users and 5 minutes for Pros. Upload almost any format and we’ll handle it. Videos are converted to the h.264 format and displayed beautifully. More .

  • Added iTunes Podcast RSS feeds to show off new videos.
  • Greeting cards!

    Choose from 37 designs and let us surprise you with stunning print quality.

  • Jaw-dropping new addition to SmugMungous.

    You have to see this to believe it. SmugMug just got a whole lot more beautiful on everything from an iPhone up to dual 30″ monitors.

  • Brought black mugs and sweatshirts back to our catalog by popular demand.
  • Added fotoflot page to clue our customers in about our partnership and show off the coolness of frameless photos.
  • Added note to “Add to Cart” interface to make logged-in SmugMuggers aware of the availability of fotoflots and photobooks through Blurb.
  • Cleaned up some wording in the control panel to make features more clear.
  • Lots of help page updates to keep up with new features.
  • Updated MacDaddy uploader to include new features (SmugMungous).
  • Added Christmas shipping deadlines to the cart EARLY this year. :)
  • Fixed a bug where the “Add to Cart” interface would hang if no products were available for purchase for the photo selected.
  • Fixed API bug where smugmug.users.getTree misses the albums at the category level when more than one gallery exists in a subcategory.
  • Fixed a bug where a gallery forced to filmstrip viewing with comments disabled would show a javascript error when you click on a thumbnail.

    Calendars, you guys need to offer calendars for print!

    wow. Fantastic release! I’m most excited about the videos (though grumpy about the 2.5 min limit, hehe) and the greeting cards. And once I buy me that fancy pants iphone I’m sure I’ll be excited about the video rss feed.

    The fit-more-thumbnails thing in a larger window is also realllllly big news; any chance you’ll trickle that capability down into other themes like “Spoonman”? I know, probably not the most commonly used theme.

    I love the new additions… I agree with Ken, Calendars would be nice and so would coupons… but, this is a great step…
