We have just added HOT new features on Wixi that will warm you up in this cold winter time !
- Web Channels
The Web Channels can be accessed from the Sidebar menu, and has a “NEW” label next to it, so you don’t miss it.
A few months ago, we added the option to embed YouTube videos directly onto your Wixi desktop. The Web Channels are pushing the concept further, by integrating more sources of contents (videos & photos) that you can embed on your desktop: DailyMotion, Flickr, Hulu & CNN are now featured, and we will add more channels over the months, for various contents: music, flash games …
Creating your own media center has never been so simple: you don’t have to upload any content from your hard drive, you can build it by picking online contents from the Web Channels and/or your friends!
- Favorite Friends System
This is a small yet powerful feature we have added based on what has been the most voted in the wixians wishlist! The Favorite Friends System is a way to access faster to your best friends’ desktop by putting them first in your friends network, so you don’t need to scroll to find them.
How does it work?
If you look closely at your friends avatars in the dashboard, you will see a star icon in the top left corner. When you click on it, it will change color from grey to yellow, and your friend will appear first in your friend list. Simply click again on the star icon to unmark the ‘favorite’ status of this particular friend and have him back at his original position in your list.
- Bugs Fixed
As usual, this release corrects several issues on the service. The most important fix is that the Full Screen feature on Flash 10 is reenabled.
Do not forget that you can vote for the next features we will be working onto at Wixi Feedback page
We are also glad to announce that the Wixi Uploader in Adobe AIR is almost ready and already being tested by a few selected users, so stay tuned for the announcement of release!
