ImageloopTuning - Everything a bit better

Administrator — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 08:11:09 +0000

Hey dear Imageloop User,

since yesterday we got a new version of our Imageloop-Service - but how does this concern you?

The usability is the same as yesterday - you can still create slideshows as easy as ever, but now it’s even faster. Our whole fundament , like the engine of a car, were tuned but our well-known and intuitive design is still the same.

Have fun trying out our new and improved service and make us happy by creating some cool Slideshows!

Yesterday the time had finally come: The Internet marketing’s regular table 2008 took place in the RheinEnergie stadium with imageloop being one of the platinum sponsors

The stadium pub “The 12. man” would have offered enough room for the over 400 announced guests, but in the end not all of them showed up.
It was nevertheless a nice evening with interesting discussions, lots of Kölsch and other good acquaintances.

Here is a slideshow of the event. If you can share some photos, don’t hesitate to upload them: Just click on “more” in the upper right corner.

best regards,
Lola

Germanys best photobomber!

Administrator — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:48:43 +0000

Win tickets for the Niels Ruf show!

Hey hobby paparazzi and casual snapshooters!

Join the hilarious photobombing contest!

Stage yourselves when somebody wants to shoot some beautiful portraits or harmonic landscapes and improve it with your antics, poses or whatever you think looks funny! Or maybe you already have something like that for us?

Then go for it @: Photobombing

The best pictures will probably make it into the Museum Of Modern Art or will be even showcased on the homepage of Niels Ruf.
And if they’re really good they might get presented during the show.

Moreover, the Top-3 photobombers can experience the Niels Ruf show first hand and live. Come to the backstage and get a souvenir-photobomb-shooting with Niels himself!

So, get your cam, make a pic, send it in and be quick!

Review 2007

Administrator — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:22:09 +0000

The imageloop team wants to say “Thank You!” to all people, who supported us on our track. Especially we want to thank our users using our widgets!

In 2007 imageloop heavily scaled up.
The number of daily created widgets has increased by more than factor six.
Currently we record more than 15 million widget plays per month.
Our systems manage nearly 6 million images in more than 0.5 million widgets.

Additionally, during the last year we have added some new widgets and features - the guest book, the ability to create widgets from Powerpoint presentation, the officeloop, the myspace friendshow, the labloop and last but not least the API.

Of course, imageloop lost something - the third ‘o’ in the name
The old domain names imagelooop.co.uk and imagelooop.de have been replaced with imageloop.com during the relaunch of the website.

To manage the current and future amount of data imageloop has also expanded on technical level.
In March 2007 we changed to a “distributed architecture” and start running an Oracle cluster database.
In the summer we put a storage solution from EMC² into operation.

For 2008 we will continue to add new features and more widgets the meet the needs of our users.

Robert (CTO)

Share your presentations with Officeloop

Administrator — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:12:45 +0000

It has always been a hassle to share presentations with friends and associates.
One is not able to open it, someone else doesn’t support your format and so on.

Officeloop is different.

Upload your ppt, pdf, pps or odp and it will be converted directly into an Officeloop. You can then post your Officeloob to your Blog, your profile and many other sites on the net. Of course you can also mail the Officeloop to your friends. Try it yourself: http://www.officeloop.de

Upload your presentation

Embed your Officeloop

Das ganze sieht dann so aus:

Have Fun with Officeloop and your presentations!
Cheers
Imageloop team
