Quick Update to Redirection Service and Chat Room Images

Dec 27 2006

Due to some issues with the Redirection Service and Chat Room Images using case sensitive names, it was too easy for users to lose track of their rooms due to a typo in the case of the Stickam chat room name. The quick fix for us was to convert all redirection and chat room image names to all lower case. This is not the best solution but it is the quickest and easiest fix for everyone. If your redirect and/or image links have broken recently, this is why. Please update all your redirect and image links to all lower case and they should begin working again.

There is already a patch on the server side for the redirection service so there should be no interruptions. However, the chat room images are only saved for 7 days. What this means is that the images will not break and will be still displayed, but the users in the chat rooms will be incorrectly displayed.

Example:

  • Chat Room Name: Stickam Lounge
  • Old URL Name: StickamLounge
  • New URL Name: stickamlounge

Please check the Stickam Chat Room Image Widget page to reference the exact name to use if you are still unclear.




Colts Providing an Official Widget for Their Fans

Dec 27 2006

The Colts have teamed up with Clearspring to provide a widget for the Colts. See below for the widget and grab the code for yourself if you’re a Colts fan. The widget itself is loaded with features; an image slideshow, latest news and video feeds and links back to the official Colts website.

For now you can grab the embed code, email to a friend or auto insert into TypePad. But, it does look like there are plans for auto insert into MySpace and Blogger.

One problem with using this widget on MySpace is the inability to link externally from MySpace. Pat Coyle of Sports Marketing 2.0 blog and Director of Database Marketing & E Commerce for the Indianapolis Colts indicates that they are working on this. Let’s see if they are able to resolve this issue. If they are able to, it could be good news for other widgets providers out there. In the meantime, you can still use this widget in a variety of places and other social networks.

You can grab the Colts Widget here.
