Anime Woot News/Updates

I'm sure most of you know what Twitter is, but for those who are not familiar, it's a micro-blogging service that allows you to post simple updates about anything. What's so great about it? Isn't it the same thing as Facebook's status update? Yeah...its essentially the same concept, but it's free from all the other junk found on social networking sites. For me, the only thing I find myself doing on Facebook is checking up on the status updates from my friends...just to check up on what they're up to. I think this is why twitter has been such a success - a simple, lightweight platform where people update others on their daily ramblings. These updates range from what they had for breakfast, how their Oprah KFC Coupon was not honored, why they think Adam Lambert should have won American Idol, or how amazing Kobe Bryant's last shot was. Yeah, some things you probably could care less about, but it's nice to keep up to date on your friend's lives...like Animewoot (right? RIGHT? =P).

So...for those who are interested, follow us on Twitter @animewoot. I will post updates on all the new episodes that have recently been added. Check out the twitter applications for your phone as well!

Imeem has a new video policy. This is taken directly from their blog:

"no longer able to take videos that you or other users have uploaded and embed them for playback on widgets outside imeem.com. We have also limited the length of video uploads to eight minutes each."

This obviously affects several videos on this site, fortunately we are adding as many mirrors as possible for your convenience. In the meantime, if you run into an Imeem video, you can click on the player and it will take you the video on their website. If the show does not have any mirrors, please report the episode as broken and I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Thanks!

So we experienced an internal server error for several hours today. Sorry about that guys, everything is back to normal though!

An update on the revamp...don't count on that being released on time. I have looked at many of your comments and suggestions and will try to take some into consideration. Some of them I am simply not able to do, like hosting my own videos, because the costs would outrageous. In terms of the membership idea, I was never planning on implementing a fee type membership, it was something along the lines of you being able to sign up for an account, get a profile, add friends, track episodes, comment on each other's pages...stuff like that.

Revamp will be postponed for a while now, too many things going on.

I've decided that this website is in dire need of a major remodel from the front-end and back-end. I'm going to shoot for the project to be finished within 3 weeks of this posting.

I have a few new features in mind, but I'm also interested in what you guys believe will be beneficial for the community. Submit your suggestions by replying to this post.

Some examples:
- Membership System
- Series/Episodes tracking system
- Rating System

Throw me some ideas and don't worry about how crazy it may sound, I like the challenge.
