Site Features 09/25/2007

Everything has changed…or, almost.

After many long nights, this morning we are pleased to announce that a new set of functions is available on Dailymotion. We have done a lot of work on the back-end of the site lately, so that we can continue to bring you a fast and functional site, whatever the server-load may be. Today these modifications are visibile, and we hope that you appreciate the improvements.

Graphical Changes

The site header and footer have been, let’s say, refreshed. The new, clearer header makes it easier to find the most important pages of the site. As to the new footer – it has also received a bit of a face lift, and provides better access to additional information about the site.

The video list pages have been reviewed in depth. Now they offer more space for videos, and the sorts on filters in the left sidebar make it much simpler to navigate through the site.

Improved Tools on the Player Page

We have reworked the ergonomy of all the tools found just below the video on the player page. Don’t hesitate to use and abuse the “share this video” function, or the social bookmarking tools like Digg or Del.icio.us (just to name a couple). Notice that if a video is already on Digg, the number of diggs is indicated in brackets.

Player on Profiles and Group Pages

Previously, the Video Stars on user profiles and on group pages were simple images. But this didn’t satisfy us. Video Stars are videos, after all, and if they’re good enough for you to feature them, then they deserve special treatment. Thus we decided to swap out the still graphic for a video player, so it’s possible to watch them directly without passing onto a dedicated player page.

New Tool: Uploader

A new tool is available on Dailymotion: the Uploader. It enables you to place an upload form directly within your site. With it, your visitors can register or log-in to Dailymotion, then upload videos to their account – or record via webcam – without leaving your site.

Improved Comments

You told us that there was an issue with the comments feature, namely: they don’t appear as soon as they’re posted. We have fixed this issue and today, every comment appears just as soon as you make it.

That’s all for today. As usual, we invite you to let us know what you think of these changes, or to alert us to any possible bugs you may encounter by adding a comment to this post.

Good surfing on Dailymotion!

You have spoken, and we have listened. Following the release of our latest version, you alerted us to a mistake we had made in serving search results: namely, that supplying “Featured Videos” at the top of those results was neither relevant, useful, or necessary. We are sorry for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused, and have since returned the presentation of search results to a simple list. Thank you for your input, and please don’t hesitate to let us know whenever something isn’t working on the site – we’re here to make your experience better.

Why was this message sent to me Kendy?

It is 39 days since I made a complaint. I have sent 431 emails so far.
I have asked for someone out of 120 employees, to take responsibility and investigate my complaint as I can prove that the account melonooo belongs to me and me alone. I have over 4000 friends and I don’t want to loose all my messages. My account has been given to someone else, with a different email address from the email address I have used for the past year melon666@fsmail.net and now has access to my personal details. How is it that new friends are being accepted without my agreement? All the evidence is there for you to see. I have proved that you have sent notifications for account melonooo to my email address melon666@fsmail.net
I have now been told that Dailymotion will ignore my complaint and any questions from now on. Why do you refuse to abide by your own rules as stated below?
FOR TECHNICAL REASONS AND IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE HANDLING OF YOUR
FEEDBACK BY OUR TEAMS, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS MAIL DIRECTLY BY CLICKING

OTHERWISE, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE PROPER TREATMENT OF YOUR REQUEST.
It seems that the policy of Dailymotion is to ignore all legitimate communications until the account member gives up. I am not going to give up.
Dailymotion considers that a single member is not worth the effort yet states the following,
The information sent to Dailymotion is collected and processed according to current law governing Internet service providers. According to applicable law, at any time you are entitled to access, modify, correct or delete your personal data by requesting to do so via the “Contact Us” section.

Hey guys,

The family filter is stuck on now with the upgrade…. do I need a new setting in Firefox for it to turn off?

THanks,

You guys need some sort of simple API, hacking around the disconnect between the url id and the file ids is no fun.

Hey Dailymotion Team! Great updates to the site! I love the new Video Star functionality, and maybe it’s my imagination but organizing my playlist after uploading a new video this time seemed much easier… seamless!

I really love how you opened your system up to the TubeMogul uploader! TubeMogul’s uploader and analytics tools are huge value adds to producers, so thank you very much for the integration!

Cheers!

xo,
Betty
