A new version of PhotoCrank means a few changes for the better

June 30, 2008 · Filed Under News 

At the end of last week many hours of hard work, super long meetings and some slightly heated discussions(aka arguments) resulted in an amazing, new version of the PhotoCrank player being pushed out to the world.

Thanks to some great feedback from all of the Crank’rs out there we have added some amazingly awesome new features to this version of the Crank player - most of which make Crank’n much more fun and much more social.

This is a major step in the direction that we want PhotoCrank to head, which is a direction that makes the experience more exciting and fun for Crank’rs, which leads to a much better overall experience for bloggers who add the PhotoCrank Engine to their blog as a way to add a more interactive experience for their readers.

Some of these new features are listed below and something else that you should be aware of is that with all of these great, new features came a change in our Crank’n philosophy as well, which is that we are no longer allowing anonymous Cranks to be created in Cranktown(our community of Crank’rs). This is because many of the new features listed below require that you have a PhotoCrank profile created and we also feel that the more profiles that are created, the better and more active community that Cranktown will become. We hope that you agree with this change for the better and if you haven’t created a profile yet you can head over here now and get it taken care of in a matter of seconds. We appreciate you taking the time to do this and hope that you find that Crank’n a photo is now more fun than ever.

Now, on to the new features:

Here is a clean view of the new Crank player.

See the numbers below for more info on our sweet, new Crank player features.

1. Previous and Next Navigation Arrows: These allow for quicker navigation when viewing Cranks

2. Crank Replies and Multiple Cranks: Any Crank’r now has the ability to create multiple Cranks on any photo and also the ability to reply to a Crank with another Crank

3. Crank Comments: Like the Crank you’re watching? Want to let other Crank’rs know what you think? You can easily do this now thanks to our new Crank commenting system.

4. Crank Sharing: Let your friends know about your latest Crank by sharing it on your favorite social network or by emailing it out to the masses. Also, copy the code to add your Crank anywhere you want by clicking on the embed code button.

More info coming soon on some other new stuff that you all should know about this new version release, but I think that this is enough to digest for one blog post. Now what are you waiting for? Get to Crank’n, sharing, commenting and spreading that PhotoCrank love!

Any questions, feel free to give me a shout by dropping an email to ryan@photocrank.com. May the Crank be with you.
