Number of Jamzee Updates!

Posted by Randy on January 08, 2009

I have made a bunch of new updates to jamzee. They are as follows:

  • Added ability to search for YouTube videos by the URL from youtube.
  • Updated searching functionality to be more friendly and intuitive. You can preview videos and search for more videos on the fly.
  • Added ability to sort playlists videos.
  • Freshened up the main page some.

I have also been playing with working on an official myspace application, although receiving some resistance from myspace regarding the fact that the jamzee site searching through youtube. Hopefully we can work this out with them.

YouTube’s MP4 Video Formats 5

Posted by Randy on May 03, 2008

Based on the recent update to YouTube and the ability to request an mp4 version of the videos on there server, I was able to add the ability on Jamzee to download an iTunes file that you can import into iTunes. Now you can create and listen to your YouTube playlist, created on Jamzee, right on iTunes.

While I am not here to share the process to retrieve these files, you can get some great information here:

I am still in the process to figure out a nice way to allow those Jamzee playlists to be exported to an iPod. If anyone has any ideas about that, I would love to listen!

Jamzee has been updated!

In the effort to make Jamzee more socialized, we brought in the lovdbyless framework to help create this. We have updated the website with the new design and are still working on flushing out any bugs with the code/design.

You now have the ability to create a profile, upload pictures, write blog posts, comment on other playlists and users, search members and playlists, and more!!!

Come check out the new Jamzee!

A Personal Lesson in SEO

Posted by Randy on February 13, 2008

Hey all and welcome to my website. I am going to give you a little background on exactly what I am going to mainly focus on. I’m not sure will the site will end up, but here it goes.

I have recently build this webapp, jamzee.com, which basically allows you to create video playlists that you can then put up onto other websites including social networkings sites such as myspace. The site has been live a little over a month and I have increased the page visits about 100 percent since last month. Most of my traffic can be attributed to members posting their playlists on myspace, linkreferral.com and savvyclicks.com.

I have also been working on fine tuning my Google Adwords. I have a hard time getting down the proper SEO skills, but I think in time, I will learn and get better at it. I will continue to post about my progress with you all so that through my learning, you can hopefully get some information out of it that will improve your skills as well.

So until next time….
