Hello to all wixians!
Before we introduce you the features we just have made available on Wixi, all the Wixi Team would like to send you its best wishes for the new year 2009!
This month, we have made major changes, that we are sure will make you an even more happy Wixi user 
- Download from friends
This feature has been requested to us over a thousand times and it is now available! Here is how it works: when you visit the Wixi of one of your friend, if you are interested in one of the files he has originally uploaded, you have now the option to either stream it, copy it to your Wixi or download it to your computer desktop.
This means you can start sharing documents, holidays photos & videos with your friend, play them from anywhere in streaming, and download them in their original quality onto your computer!
- Visits Counter
You will notice in your sidebar, below the number of files on your Wixi and your number of friends, a new counter: the Visits Counter! While this is just a ‘tiny’ addition, it is also a way to know and show how popular your Wixi is! Some of our users have already received more than 80,000 unique visits on their desktop, congratulations to them!
- Google Chrome & Safari 3 compatibility
& 
We are very glad to announce that Wixi Desktop is now officially compatible with Safari 3 & Google Chrome (on both Windows & Mac OS X platforms). It involved a lot of modifications into the core and UI parts of the service to make our desktop load almost as perfectly into these two browsers as in Firefox and Internet Explorer, but it was worth it! Wixi is now ready to welcome the community of Google Chrome fans, and is even more Apple Macintosh friendly!
- Reworked UI engine
This is usually the kind of update you would not notice visually, but we have spent a lot of time on reworking the UI engine so as to improve performance (reduced memory usage, faster loading…). Also, this would simplify the fixing of browser related html/css issues, thus allowing us to add more features faster!
Should I remind you, you can vote for the next features we will be working onto at Wixi Feedback page
