I mess up a bit

I have revised the user interface, it came out really nice. Upload and process have been going on in the background with a dialog box saying “Please wait, we’re processing your photo”. It all came out neat and dandy, but it was broken on IE. Thanks for everybody who sent in an email. I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Around 50% of dumpr’s users are running Internet Explorer, so the thousands of daily generated photos made me think everything was fine.

In other news, new features for dumpr are:

• Better and nicer interface
• Integration with Plaxo (send emails to contacts from your GMail, Outlook and Yahoo address book!)
• Add to your del.icio.us and facebook bookmarks
• Easier embedding in blogs and myspace

If you have ideas to improve dumpr, please drop me a line at admin@dumpr.net.

Again, I appreciate everybody’s patience with this bug. Everything seems to be working normally again. If you encounter problems, please let me know.

So many things to tell! Before wrapping up and deploying the new version of dumpr, I  thought I’d summarize all new features since the last real status-report

• Easter Egg effect
• Friends Scout (find photos of your contacts that made it to Explore)
• Lomography effect
• Sketch effect
• Jigsaw Puzzle effect

• Embed / Blog photos
• Save images to disk
• Print directly (using your home printer)
• Moved to 1024×768 minimum (instead of 800×600 before

There are so many new effects line up for the next release. With more than 1300 mentions in blogs (Technorati), it looks like dumpr is catching on quite fast! The new toys will definitely blow your mind; so I guess you’ll just have to wait

Cheers!

Easter is now over, we hope you all had fun with your family and friends. We do know you have created over 20,000 easter-eggs and shared them with everybody you knew! This was a real seasonal hit!

So, thank you for trying this cool toy out. We’ll be preparing more seasonal treats for you for the next holidays. Be sure to check them out.

In other news, we have moved to a new, faster, dedicated server. Our storage capacity and processing power have increased by several orders of magnitude. Get ready for a great ride!

WOW!

Photojojo has posted an entry about museumr today. I wasn’t expecting it, and 6,000 visitors (so-far) have caught me by surprise!

Welcome everyone, and thanks for playing with dumpr. I have received a large number of emails today, thanks for everybody who wrote in.The insanely high number of visitors surfaced all the bugs that were in the system. My finger is on the pulse and I’m constantly checking that service is working, but please realize that there have been some minor downtimes. These will be fixed as soon as possible, when the demand lowers a bit.

Again, thanks for everybody! and watch out for all the new toys that are just around the corner!

Hello again, everyone.

It has been a few weeks since the last update. Loyal dumpr.net fans have noticed all the changes and new features that were being added from time to time. It has been a great period for the dumpr.net group on flickr. There are many members, and more are joining daily! Thanks everyone for the interest!

Here’s a quick run-through over the new features:

• Amazing-Circles is an addicting effect of turning photos into these cool orbs. You won’t believe how hooked you’ll be until you try it yourself. Since launch last week, there have been more than 8,000 creations! Told you it’s catchy

• The ever-changing design scene is now using floor reflections in web design, user interface design, tv commercials, you name it! You can now create your own reflections with dumpr.net’s reflection tool.

• Some redesign of the dumpr.net’s icons. Now it makes a bit more sense what “fave findr” (formally Similr) does

Hey guys!

A new version of dumpr has just been uploaded. This includes a new image selector, 1 new museum (landscape) and several design changes.

The highlight of this upgrade is the new image selector. When launching museumr, you will be shown a tool called pickr. With that tool you can select your source for the museum. Dumpr now supports direct file upload and use of myspace, picasa and zooomr urls. That means that you can just copy-paste the url from your photo album at myspace, and voila, you’re done!

Flickr image selection has been improved and now looks somewhat similar to flickr’s own Organize tool.

This is the first release of these features, so please, if you encounter any problems, or have any suggestions or requests, please email to admin@dumpr.net.

The new museum has been sent in by bradpitbull2000, and was taken in Museum of Modern Art in New York. Thanks bradpitbull2002! This is the first museum in landscape format, other will be modified to fit as well.

One last thing:
== MERRY CHRISTMAS ==

Hello everybody.

A few new tricks are now available on dumpr:

• similr now allows instantly adding favorites from results page. If you haven’t used similr already, you should — you will find it very addictive and fun to use. There’s a short tutorial below, click on it to enlarge. Be sure to let us know what you think of it!

• Uploading photos from dumpr is now more user friendly with cool interface and use of ajax technology.

• Upgraded to latest phpFlickr backend. This means more stable, faster and richer support for flickr. New version supports geoTagging and other cool new features. Expect related tools soon

Hey guys.

There are some upgrades scheduled for this week. During maintenance, dumpr.net will be down for non-beta users. The upgrade has been split into 4 milestones, giving each upgrade some testing time. Upgrades will take place at 04:00 AM PST (GMT-08).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

• Dec 09: New upload system, new phpFlickr backend
• Dec 11: New image selection system, new landscape museum
• Dec 13: Surprise Tool 1
