Embed any set anywhere

Dear users,

in Agglom there is a new feature you may be interested in: you can embed and display any public set (link, thumbnails, images, videos, etc…) in your blog, website or wherever you want.

On the right column of every set’s multimedia page you may notice now a “Embed set” widget that allows you to cut and paste the code in the HTML markup of your blog post / website to display the full page dynamically generated. In the widget, you can also see a preview of the rendering just clicking on the “preview and info” link.

You have full control on the style of the embed multimedia page. If you don’t like ours, you can customize and overwrite it using your own CSS (remember to use the “!important” keyword in your own attributes).

Here is an example of how “Latte Art best photos, videos and resources” set would look like: http://www.agglom.com/embedCode.aspx?id=45425.

Agglom – the next generation of social bookmarking

Hi All

in the latest months we have been enjoying working hard towards a new release that brings Agglom to a new social network level: Agglom Beta 4 – the next generation of social bookmarking.

This new version has been just deployed and, as you can see on www.agglom.com, there is a bunch of new free services that you can enjoy.

The biggest feature of the new release is the Groups one. Every user can create public or private groups that anybody else can join to share general or niche interests. You can decide the privacy and permissions options for your group.

Group members can share and aggregate sets of links, start and reply to discussions and subscribe to real-time, daily, or weekly updates. And if your groups become over-used, then you need moderation! So why wouldn’t you give “moderation” privileges to some of the members?

Responding to huge user demand, we are glad to release the bookmarklet. The bookmarklet is a “special link” that you can bookmark or drag ‘n drop into your Favorites / Bookmarks bar that, when clicked, will let you quickly and easily add the web page you are displaying to a new or previously saved set on Agglom.

Do you like sets of a fellow agglom member? You can subscribe to every user’s updates to receive email notifications every time they create a new set.

Did you get a look at your public profile? A bigger avatar and a whole new tabbed area display all the information to somebody that may be interested in your Agglom account: your publicly shared sets, your contacts, your subscriptions and your favorites.

But it’s not just the “public” areas that we care about. We’ve created a new My Agglom page where you can quickly and easily browse through all your contents and settings, including private messages.

These and dozens of other features and improvements have just been released, so, why don’t you check them out? And yes, we have also introduced a non-intrusive advertising system. With this, the website is now ensured to be economically auto-sustainable (and is a big gain we all are proud of) and you can be sure that we will never leave you alone

As always, we highly value our users’ feedback: on GetSatisfaction you can share your considerations with us and also ask for any kind of support.

That is all, for now! Have a nice day
