Is this thing on?

Welcome to the ZeeVee blog.

We'll post news, updates and things we think may be generally useful to our community here.

Let's start with an update on what's happening with Zinc (f.k.a. Zviewer). We sent out a survey and we've been gathering feedback on the forum and your input is definitely being incorporated.

The big thing we heard is that the community loves all of the aggregated content and is thirsty for more. We have added CBS and Nickelodeon to our lineup, and increased Cartoon Network to 28 different shows. Last week our content team added another 700 videos to the Reuters, College Humor, and Break feeds. Our lineup will continue to grow. Don't be shy about telling us about the videos that you are finding on the web. We look for sites with RSS feeds so the content is always fresh, large thumbnails that will look good on big screen TV's, and rich metadata to allow users to select which videos they want to watch.

Our code team is cranking on the next iteration of the product. We recently released an update where we changed the name to Zinc, added some performance enhancements for the thumbnails and fixed bugs, particularly around input focus.

We're working hard on the February release and we'll post here as soon as we're ready to give you a sneak peek.

As always we want your feedback, because what you zinc is important to us! (Cough, cough.. ignore that bad pun.) Seriously, though, leave us comments here or on the Zinc Forum about what you'd like to see more of and what new things you'd like to see on Zinc.
