mobile version almost complete

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Recently I bought a new HTC smart phone, armed with gprs & wifi internet access the next logical step for the in876 network was to go mobile.

This process will be a long and hard one for some site, but for others we managed to complete the task in no time. The url’s for mobile access are:

http://m.in876.com && http://mobile.in876.com

there you will find links to:

  • Movie Listings
  • Upcoming Events
  •  Day’s Weather
  • Hotspots (Completely mobile)
  • This Blog
  • News and Sports Headlines (RSS Feed From Gleaner)

Hotspots.in876.com is the first of the network’s sites to have a complete mobile interface available, we are still populating the database with all the hottest locations in Jamaica (876) so soon you do not need to be in front of your PC to find a top restaurant or bar to chill out.

As always spread the word about this new feature, because you know the developers here are always one step ahead of the rest.

Operation Condor

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Today we begin a renewed push to establish our network as the top network for all things related to Jamaica (876). We kick things off with some improvements and bug fixes to our flagship product Events.in876.com.

Improvements:

  • Promotional Video Support - We have created a special Youtube group for members to share videos they plan on using to promote their events. Each event is only allowed one (1) video and it can be uploaded to any flash video hosting service (Google Video, Metacafe, iFilm, Youtube) to better serve the community we would prefer you use Youtube as we can then group all videos for better organization. While browsing members will notice the TV icon TVbeside the name of an event, clicking it will start playing the video in our lightbox.

  • Event Comments - As a part of our community initiative we have included the ability to comment on events, share your thoughts about events you are planning to attend or events you know are always good, tell other members your views. ps. if you get an error saying comment too short just hit send again
  • Planning to attend - We have included another feature for members to share with the community their intentions to attend an event. So now friends can know if any of their friends plan on attending the same event they are. It just increases the fun.

As apart of Operation Condor we will be starting an aggressive PR campaign for those who love what we are doing a link to us would be nice. For the bloggers out there feel free to mention us and help spread the word.
