New Features on YouNow: Search & Snapshot!
  • Search: now finding your favorite broadcasters is much easier. Simply type their name in the search bar at the top of the screen
  • Snapshot: Have you ever wished there were an easier way to capture that crazy screenshot of your friends doing the cinnamon challenge?

    Now you can take a snapshot of a broadcaster LIVE on YouNow, and easily share to Twitter or Facebook, or download to your desktop!

    …AND each person that signs up for YouNow through the snapshot link you shared will be credited as a recruit for you!

And that’s it! Please remember to leave your comments below about our new releases this week.  We want to hear your thoughts on these updates. :)

    YouNow Development Updates

                                                                     

    Hi, my name is Erez and I am the CTO of YouNow.  As you have noticed since we launched in September, we constantly work to improve and enhance the YouNow experience.  Moving forward, I will write a blog post every week or so describing our new product releases.

    Here is what is new this week:

    • Subscribe to Broadcasters’ YouTube Channels: Broadcasters may now connect their YouTube channels so that viewers may subscribe to them during their broadcasts. 

    • Facebook and Twitter Beacons: YouNow has become more viral.  New users will be announcing YouNow on their wall and fanning will now (every so often) trigger both Twitter and Facebook notices to your friends and followers. 


    • Camera/Mic Setup page: Is now improved. Testing your camera and mic is now a much quicker process.  Do a test recording right there on the setup page to ensure that your Camera and Mic are properly set up. 
    • First time users now see unique instructional welcome messages. 
    • Twitter Promotion:  New users are now encouraged to authenticate their Twitter account earn a level up and earn coins. 

    Bug Fixes: 

    • Earning points to climb levels is enabled
    • Fans earned count on users private pages is fixed

    Please leave your comments below about our new releases this week.  We want to hear from you!

    Three New YouNow Channels - Gaming, Shows 2 and VIP!

    As the YouNow community has continued to grow, our Weekly Program of scheduled content has also grown. In an effort to accomodate YOUR (the community’s) interests, while still allowing for our hosts to broadcast their Weekly Shows, we launched 3 new channels on YouNow today!

    1. The Gaming Channel
    2. The “Shows 2” Channel
    3. The VIP Channel 

    The Gaming Channel is a place where gamers can discuss the latest game / tech releases, classic video games or hilarious and quirky Internet humor! Check out Gary Payne showing off his PS3 controller:

                            

    The Shows 2 Channel provides another venue for scheduled content, while also creating more opportunities for others to broadcast when no shows are airing. Tony Casillo was our first broadcaster in Shows 2 this morning:

                            

    The VIP Channel is a place where broadcasters who have attained Level 13 and up can enter the queue with minimal wait. Danny Tee was our first VIP today:

                            


    We hope you will enjoy these additional channels, and would love to hear your feedback about future channels in the comments below!
