We launched this site just barely 4 months ago, and as of last week - we breached.. 10,000 usersThis has been a cause for celebration around here, and we wanted to take the time to thank you all for joining the site, using the site, and having fun with it. Everyday, we get more registered users than the day before it. That's a lot of fun to see.Anyway - quick note about some "hidden" changes we've made recently, mostly as a test :1.

We're getting more and more members everyday, and we're getting lots of great praise (and seeing some REALLY cool content get uploaded). A special thank you to all of you who've taken the time to fill out the survey - it's given us a great insight on our userbase, and I think you're gonna love what we're doing next.Anyway, we wanted to make a quick announcement about 2 of the most recent changes :VIDEO PLAYER INTERFACEYou may or may not have not http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/1111 Mon, 18 Jun 2007 16:57:51 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/1111 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/911 Hey there!So, we've been working on some cool sh..stuff around here recently and today we wanted to unveil our latest enhancement - NEW COMMENT FORMS!This is exciting for a number of reasons :1. Embedding videos, audio, photos is way super-easier2. You won't have to leave the page you're viewing in order to comment.3. You'll know what your comment looks like automagically - without clicking anything, or leaving the page. It's near-instant.4. You no longer need to decide "do I need to switch to http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/911 Fri, 25 May 2007 20:29:50 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/911 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/869 You may have noticed that we've replaced the banner in our header with an internal banner requesting you to fill out our Official M+ Usability Survey. We've had some great responses thus far, and we've had a few questions thrown our way. So, we just wanted to clear up a few things..What's the purpose of the survey?Think of it as our report card, and you're our teacher. Fill it out as completely and honestly as you feel is necessary. We're looking for good and bad responses here - so be as brutal http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/869 Mon, 21 May 2007 13:19:21 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/869 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/556 So, we made a pretty major change/update this morning - something we've been working on for a few weeks, and we wanted to draw your attention to it real quick.SUBSCRIPTIONSWhen you joined the site, you were automatically "friended" by Mikey, RevMitcz (myself), and MusicPlusTV. In addition, you were automatically subscribed to our blogs, and to the M+ Development blog. We did this so you could get used to the idea of subscribing and see how it worked. Also, it's helpful for you to know what's up http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/556 Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:34:49 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/556 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/402 One of the most requested features since we first launched this sucker has been the ability to sort your friends that appear on your channel. So-called "top friends". Today - IT HAS BEEN DONE. Go now, sort some friends! Head over to your page, scroll to your friends list and hit the "sort & edit friends" button. From there, it should be pretty self-explanatory. Just remember - changes to the order of your friends (just like is the case w/your content editor) are not committed unti http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/402 Tue, 03 Apr 2007 16:33:25 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/402 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/291 Real quick-like (cause it's Friday and you don't have time to read development blogs)...Profile photos are no longer uploaded through a separate interface. Now, ANY photo you upload (via the multi-file uploader) can be used as your profile photo. On your content editor page, select a photo, click "edit selected" and on the resulting page you'll see a new "set as profile photo" button. The cropper works the same as before.Enjoy and have a safe, but hopefully entertaining weekend. http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/291 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 19:17:14 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/291 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/266 Just wanted to give a quick little update on the state of our Flash video players, cause they've undergone a pretty major overhaul. First off - we completely rewrote the resizing code for the player, so you shouldn't see any more weird display errors regardless of the embed size. This required us to write our own code for the progress bar, the video scrub handle, and a number of other things, but it's a leaner, meaner, nicer looking player that finally overcomes a number of outstanding glitche http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/266 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 19:58:39 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/266 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/245 First and foremost - Thanx. As always. We're almost 1600 strong and counting (with over 900 artists!), we've gotten almost 6,000 uploads, 2100 of which are videos. Not bad for 2 weeks, eh? We haven't slowed down, either. From time to time you might notice little things change and update here and there - we work on this site almost every single day and we can't wait to show you what's coming up. For now, here's some things we've added, changed, or fixed.FEATURE ADDITIONS- Content can be marked http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/245 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 20:47:03 -0700 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/245 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/210 You may have noticed a little something different going on near the top of the site now. That's our new header. The old one was meant to be temporary, while we worked on a more finalized solution. Unfortunately, we ended up finding a lot more important things to worry about and never got around to that header.Today, as you can plainly see, that has changed.The new header enables us to allow space for a proper ad, streamilnes the logo a bit, gives pop-up live stream access to both registered an http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/210 Wed, 07 Mar 2007 19:08:49 -0800 http://newbornabc.com/vlazedev/blog/210
