Welcome New Year, flauntR style(R)

More free stuff! This time for New Years! And if your wondering whether you’ve heard this somewhere before, its because you have..we just announced our free christmas designs and goodies a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve been overwhelmed with requests for New Year Designs, so here goes!

Pick from dozens of New year designs, add custom messages on your photos using over 20 (and counting) fancy fonts in TextR (free, as usual) and print them into gifts using photoprintR, so they can be converted into mugs, tshirts and other goodies, which family and friends can treasure all through next year and beyond.

Use flauntR to share memories of the great time you had this year with family and friends, and wish them a lot of happiness for the next year. .It just takes minutes to combine great designs with your pick of photos, personalise them with stylish messages, and convert them into unique gifts that are lovingly personal yet professionally finished, unique and special but also practical and useful.

So by the time you wake up from The celebration hangover, don’t be surprised if you are already the most popular guy of the (new) year!

flauntR integrates with EVERYONE (Seriously!)

Okay its final! there are no more social networks left to integrate with. We’ve done them all. 16 social networks , blogging platforms, and the odd big web home page networks thrown in…and counting.

After tons of requests from users we decided that never would a Facebook user or a MySpace junkie, or for that matter anyone on any other network, ever have to download stuff from flauntR in order to put it into their social network, ever.

So as of now, you can drop kick your flaunterized photos right into your social network, from inside flauntR, effects, frames, the full treatment. And it takes only seconds, keeping in line with our obsession with doing everything quickly.

We call this ‘Quickpost’ (yes, its a rather uninspiring name) and this means you can serve all your newest and whackiest flauntR designs, hot off the design stove, to all your friends anywhere, as soon as you can say ’social network’.

Most of our users must have noticed this while sharing, but for those uninitiated into the deeply religious flauntR fold, this is how its done

Click 1: Just choose the ‘Share’ button from the header menu below the tabs (the one with the two figures)

Click 2: The pop up that emerges will already have ‘Quickpost’ selected on the left hand menu list. A list of social networks are shown on the right as buttons. Click on your social network

Click 3: Login and get busy!

Here is a list of all the cool big huge social networks we integrate with , and if you find any not on the list, including any network for undead pirates, bald hairdressers, astronauts or the like, just drop us a line and we’l make they get added to our have-this-feature-done-now-or-noone-goes-home- for-dinner list

The current list is as follows: MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Orkut, Piczo, Freewebs, LiveJournal, BlackPlanet, MyYearBook, WordPress, Typepad, Xanga, Multiply, Igoogle, Netvibes, Pageflakes

Effects history for flauntR

After seeing how all our users love to go crazy mixing and matching effects, we decided to save them even the additional effort of clicking again on any effect – flauntR now has an effects history panel which you can access from the toolbar below the header. This panel shows you all the effects you have applied to the photo, and you can selectively switch any of these effects on and off and see the results, without having to go click any of theme again !!.

Just like layers, except a lot more simple. We hope you love it.

Get your Picassa photos in flauntR!

flauntR is now integrated with Picassa, the super cool photostorage tool by Google. So you can pull in all your Picassa photos into flauntR and put them back there again!, so you dont need to upload your Picassa photos again, or leave the flauntR page to get them!..

Meanwhile, if you do face any kind of problem with your Picassa integration, just drop in a mail to info(at)flauntr(dot)com and we promise to get them fixed pronto!!

flauntR on OpenSocial !

We’ll be coming to the OpenSocial Community , starting with Orkut, soon!.

In fact we are already there!, (check out the screenshot of the running application just below this post). But we cant give it out just now, because we are still making sure it works like clockwork, so we’re pushing all our tester guys to push flauntR on OpenSocial to the limit, and give a thumbs up pronto so we can let our users put their hands on it!.  Hang on for a few days and we’ll be telling you right here!. And we aren’t stopping at Orkut either, so dont be surprised it you see us pop up on on your fav social network, whether it be MySpace , Bebo or the other big guys.

Er. Okay so whats OpenSocial ? – OpenSocial provides a common set of APIs for social applications across multiple websites. OpenSocial is currently being developed by Google in conjunction with members of the web community.

Multiple undo for effects

One of the most requested features has been the ability to undo effects added on top of each other. flauntR now contains both undo and redo , in addition to a reset function that kicks back the image to the state it was in the beginning. We also now have a history feature which allows users to selectively switch off and on effects they have applied.

So clicking is now easier again, and getting creative is a lot more fun and you can get as messy as you want, and let your imagination run riot.

‘Editors Pick’ at Yahoo

flauntR has been chosen as the ‘Editors Pick‘ at the yahoo application gallery. There are over 800 applications listed here, which integrate with services that Yahoo provides. (flauntR is integrated with Flickr which is a Yahoo service)
