If Google PageRank could sing...

Greg always wanted me to post something to celebrate Amazee.com's Google PageRank of 6... so here we go:


Maybe PageRank starts singing for your Amazee projects in the future as well!

Yes we can -- go nominate!

As you might have noticed, Mashable is running the 2nd annual Open Web Awards. And the feedback so far is really awesome according to their site:

[...]

  • the most successful company so far has been nominated by 3'793 people!
  • 25'000 nominations in one week = an average of 370 nominations per hour since launch!
  • that’s 6 nominations every minute!
  • the vast majority of companies have only 1 or 2 nominations: in many categories, 3 or 4 nominations will currently get a company to the voting round
  • nominations end midnight Sunday, and the sites with the most nominations proceed to the voting round...

[...]

OK, to be honest: Amazee will not be the company in the first spot -- but feel free to prove me wrong... ;-)

BUT -- I know of around 10-15 nominations for Amazee and this is cool regarding point 4. To secure our nomination go on and nominate Amazee for the Open Web Awards! 

And thanks to everyone who already voted or is just about to do so!

There might be some hickups...

UPDATE: everything should be back to normal by now... up and running again! Thanks a lot for your patience and enjoy the enhancements and little features.

Amazee might have some hickups for the next minutes. We do some maintenance, roll out a couple of speed improvements, and deploy some fixes and enhancements.

Everything should be back to normal around noon CET.

As ususal this post will be updated on how we progress... stay tuned!
(And while you wait, why not nominate Amazee for the Open Web Awards?)

Trick or Treat

Happy Helloween from Amazee

Happy Halloween everybody!

So we are not playing tricks on you tonight -- actually there are three treats the technology department wants to give to the Amazee users today.

If you are brave enough just come in and check out our latest additions around the project magazine:

Social Services Widget
next to every project and below the information box you will find a couple of well known icons: Delicious, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Digg, Google and some more... just select the one of your choice (or all of them) and spread the word of the project you just visit.

Logo Widget
due to popular demand we decided to create a special logo widget for your magazines. So if you want to brand your project magazine with your logo or banner you now have all the possibilities. No more thumbnails in this case.

Event Widget
this is (IMHO) by far the coolest widget in the magazine we have. Imagine you are planning a Halloween party, a meetup, or just any other gathering where people should tell you before if they are coming or not. The event widget does all you need. You can even create a brand new event within -- and the event is automatically added to the calendar.

There was even a bit more released today -- but we will tell you in the beginning of next week.

Again... Happy Halloween everybody... and now get out of the door and do some spooky things or join the Halloween project!
