Major Update - Coming Tomorrow! The Pipeline
If you read this blog, you’ve noticed that I’ve talked a lot about The Pipeline update. Yes… it’s coming… Doesn’t this all sound familiar?
Tomorrow, August 30th 2007 the world will be able to use the new player design!
Here’s a list of all the new features:
1. Video, Audio, or Text Comments - For any item in a show, YOU can now record or upload a video or audio comment as well as leave a text comment.
2. Easier item navigation - We know that we have tons of shows (around 50) and that each show has a ton of items for everyone to watch. Navigating through all of this content has been somewhat of a nightmare. With thumbnail navigation and the corresponding item title you won’t have to load each item to figure out what it is!
3. Captions - The captions box displays the Name of each item in your show. As always, the player fades away after a few seconds, but if you prefer, you can always close the caption box while navigating through the items if desired.
4. Full Screen button - View the player in full screen mode.
5. Pause/Play button - Pause actually pauses everything now… even background music. This is a great feature for everyone watching our slide shows.
6. Send button - Email friends and family a link directly to your favorite item or to an entire show.
7. Follow Me - You can now receive email updates to when a show has been updated. By clicking the Info button on bottom right you can access the new “follow me” link.

I hope that the comment system makes the SWL community jump out of their seats because it’s truly awesome! I had a test run of it and it literally builds off of what YouTube started and takes it to a place where no one else can go!
