Haven’t you seen them ? Really?
What am I talking about? The RSS buttons of course! Yes, these orange buttons (
or 
) which you can find almost anywhere on Wixi Portal & Wixi iPhone (and soon on Wixi Desktop too) mean that a RSS feed is available to follow news about any user, your friends, search results…
With the Wixi RSS feeds, you can stay informed on:
- all the latest files added by the friends network of any user (including yours)
- all the latest files added by any user
- all the latest files added on wixi network, filtered by category
- all the latest files matching a given keyword, and filtered by category
Get more connected to your friends, just put their feeds in your favorite RSS reader and follow their updates, isn’t that great ?!
Also, for developpers, our RSS feeds are opening several new opportunities: you can use the feeds to build your own widgets and integrate results in other applications and webservices (mashups…)
Checkout the Wixi API available at the developers pages at:
Ex: we have built a Wixi Widget for Mac Os X Dasboard based on these feeds:
Feel free to download the widget, try it and analyze the source code to see how easy it is to build your own with Wixi content (it took us only a couple of hours to make it!)

Since launching Wixi for iPhone in December, 2007, the mobile platform for accessing and streaming your Wixi files on your iPhone, we’ve seen unimagined growth and continue to attract more users every day!
Every day, hundreds of our beta testers are accesssing their Wixis through WiFi or Edge connection to play their media files and share them with their friends and relatives.
This graph speaks for itself: look at how much data bas been transferred in January when compared to December!
We would also like to thank EdgeCast, our technical provider, for the efficiency of their content delivery network, and their integrated progressive download technology, which makes all this possible by ensuring the best delivery speed to our users worldwide!
EdgeCast offers a superior, cost-effective global content delivery service that gives our users a competitive advantage in the delivery of digital media, providing our users the cost benefits and flexibility of controlling their own content delivery network while liberating them from ISP contracts, capital investments and operational hassles.

What’s the fun in having an online media desktop if you are not able to share your media files with your existing friends?
We understand that your friends are spread across various social networks or on your multiple Web mails, and of course you cannot invite them manually one by one!
Well, this is now an old story. The Wixi Team has been working hard on a new invitation tool which we are now proud to announce: http://www.wixi.com/invitations/
We have lifted all restrictions: you can now invite as many friends as you want, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1) Enter your login details
2) Select the friends you want to invite (you can select them all in a click), and see which ones are already on Wixi
3) Send your invitations!
We have been working on supporting a wide range of social networks and Web mails among the most popular, including:
GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Facebook, MySpace, Hi5, LinkedIn, Orkut …
Of course, your privacy being our first concern, we insist on the fact that none of your login details are being stored on our servers. Your contact list is used solely to invite your friends to create a Wixi account, but we do not keep their emails to send unsolicited mail.
