Nothing pains me more than to have to write this post.
We are on the brink of releasing flyers, distribution, rss feeds and new player features, including full screen play. But we have to hold off for another full day of testing and will now launch some time on Thursday, August 23.
Our Trulia distribution testing is our main hold up. Trulia has some unique formatting requirements and we have had to make last minute corrections to our feed today. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give us any time to test for a release tomorrow as planned.
We are also doing further testing of the new player features, some of which are shown in the graphic above. These changes impact every Show ever created. As you can imagine, that’s not something we want to turn on with our fingers crossed.
I’d love to promise there will be no more delays, but I won’t. We’re as excited about these new features as everyone else, but we want them to work right from day one. We know that’s what you want as well.
Thanks for your patience.

Hi Jeff,
I’m glad you care enough about your product to not release it until it works as it should! Thank you for that, and for caring how it impacts those of us who use your shows.
Thanks for the update.

No sweat, do what you gotta do
And that includes some sleep!

I’ll put the horns, noisemakers and other festivities on hold. Waiting patiently…
Ann, Sue and Maureen… thank you. Our entire team thanks you.
Better to wait a few days and have the bugs worked out than launch and try to fix while in use. We cannot wait, keep up the great work.
Looking forward to the new features. I wonder if the Tell-a-friend script has been updated to include more friend fields. I heard somewhere that people will therefore think of other people to send it to and it will improve viral marketing.
Hi there,
The new features look great! It will be fun to see how they work as we go along.
Thanks!
Jeff,
I LOVE the new flyers. I also see that people can now tag our shows using social media – this is a fantastic way to allow these flyers to spread over the net.
THANKS for all your hard work.
I found out about the Real Estate Shows thru AR-I absolutely love it! Anxiously awaiting for the added features-the Flyers!
Kris… they went live yesterday around 3PM!
