We hear a lot of customers ask for a better way to upload photos to their wiki. In response we put together a photo gallery app that can be dropped into your Jotspot Wiki. You can check it out in the gallery. Enjoy! Note that the Photo Gallery is currently only available to Wikis created after March 21st. It will be available to all wikis at the end of April. http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/04/05/jotspot-photo-joto/feed/ http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/23/jot-developer-getting-a-face-lift/ http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/23/jot-developer-getting-a-face-lift/#comments Mon, 23 Jan 2006 20:45:48 +0000 General http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/23/jot-developer-getting-a-face-lift/ The past 48 hours haven't been kind to the JotSpot developer connection site. It's running an older release of our service and must have eaten some bad chicken or something else that left it unsettled. We're working on it and it should be back singing by the end of the day. Sorry for the down time. http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/23/jot-developer-getting-a-face-lift/feed/ http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/13/strmzcom-jotspot-powered-video-clip-sharing-service/ http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/13/strmzcom-jotspot-powered-video-clip-sharing-service/#comments Fri, 13 Jan 2006 22:07:29 +0000 Developers Apps http://blog.jot.com/archives/2006/01/13/strmzcom-jotspot-powered-video-clip-sharing-service/ Mandalan Media recently launched the beta of strmz.com (pronounced "streams"), a JotSpot-powered video clip-sharing destination. Strmz.com features up-to-the minute videos from major media outlets such as NBC, HBO, and Comedy Central, along with popular video blogs and top-rated content from video upload services like Google Video. Strmz.com is a great example of Jot's capabilities as a "software as a service platform," designed to bring a new generation of focused vertical apps and services to market. Mandalan Media president James Brennan says, "The site uses JotSpot's wiki software to mashup RSS video feeds, video blogs, and podcasts – and allow members to subscribe to favorite channels, create and share playlists and clips, and export personalized RSS feeds.

There. I admitted it. Isn't that the first step or something? My addiction began with less dangerous collaboration tools like blogs and discussion groups but using these well known gateway tools I quickly escalated to harder collaboration tools like wikis. Friends started avoiding me, I stopped sleeping and eating, co-workers stopped inviting me to meetings, and loved ones tried to intervene without success. When I heard about Jotspot it seemed like an obvious fit. A place where I could feed my addiction under the guise of a day job. Could it get any more perfect? So after seven years at Kintana, a startup purchased by Mercury interactive in 2002, I ... http://blog.jot.com/archives/2005/12/21/no-assembly-required-batteries-included/feed/ http://blog.jot.com/archives/2005/12/20/wiki-email-heartburn/ http://blog.jot.com/archives/2005/12/20/wiki-email-heartburn/#comments Tue, 20 Dec 2005 20:12:48 +0000 General http://blog.jot.com/archives/2005/12/20/wiki-email-heartburn/ Our mail server came down with a serious case of heartburn last night and as a result, sending email to and from Jot wikis has been down. We're nearly done the Tums treatment, and apologize for any frustration this may have caused. I'll update this post when we're sure all is well. Update: everything is back and humming along nicely.

It was fun to put faces to names and meet new folks as we made ourselves home in Jot's swanky new office. After sampling flautas, guac and winter brew we settled amongst the cubes for some demos. Furthest-travelled ribbon goes to Michael Sampson, who looked remarkably fresh for being fresh off a flight from New Zealand. Mark your calendars and book your flights now ;) for the next meetup on January 16th, 7p, Jot offices in Palo Alto. RSVP on the meetup page. A big shout out to Reuben, Kathleen, Scott J., and Joe for the demos.
