Twitter issue resolved…

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

After a couple of e-mails and a trouble ticket to Twitter, it appears they have resolved the issue that was causing the twitter views in all of our apps to appear blank.

We have also made changes to the code in our apps that should prevent blank twitter views in the event that Twitter suffers from the same issue in the future. These updates will be automatically included with the next update to all of our apps.

Thank you for your patience over the past few days. We really wish that it was possible to instantly update applications to prevent outages such as this, but unfortunately, all updates to our apps must go through the standard approval process for release to the App Store. We try to respond as quickly as possible, and we thank everyone who takes the time to let us know about issues inside of our apps using the “About” link inside every one of our apps.

Push Notifications Are Here…

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

Over the next several days, you will notice timed updates to all of our apps based on our awesome Vlogger framework.  This update only has one purpose – enabling push notifications for new videos!

We’re very happy to release this service and the app updates and thank everyone for their patience while we have worked hard to implement this functionality.   We know that we’ve been promising it for a while, but we wanted to make sure that we had the simplest, most effective, most reliable and most flexible solution possible.

We will be releasing the apps one at a time over the next few days.  We are doing this to ensure that the push notification server that we have developed is stable, and to prevent mass chaos should something go awry.  Please bare with us and rest assured that push notifications in your favorite vlogger app will be available very soon – be sure to check the app store periodically over the next few days.
