Express Email Marketing® customers: Upload your existing customer base without another opt-in
January 12, 2008
You wanted it; now you’ve got it! We just launched a huge product enhancement that lets you upload your existing customer base or newsletter list into Express Email Marketing without forcing a new opt-in procedure. Now, you can import your list (already in your database and opted-in to your marketing offers) simply by agreeing to three conditions within Express Email Marketing (1- I am a known sender, 2-I accept the bounce limit, 3-I will not send Spam). Here’s how it works:
- Agree to the conditions and import a new list.
- New subscribers are added as “Unverified.”
- Send a campaign to the new list. Mail sent to “Unverified” subscribers will be delivered in batches over a 48-hour period. If you receive an excessive amount of bounces, we suspend delivery.
- When the recipients open their email, status will be set to “Active” and bounce rules will no longer apply.
- In the Campaign Schedule page, customers are shown a count of subscribers who receive mail immediately (Active) vs. those where delivery is staggered over several hours (Unverified).
- All bounces are reported in the campaign bounce report.

NEW! Internationalized Domain Names Interface
January 12, 2008
What do you do when you want to generate Web traffic to your site, but the visitors you’re trying to reach use non-ASCII characters on their keyboards?
Now, there’s a solution: Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). An IDN is a domain name where the non-ASCII characters have been converted to ASCII to be read in web browsers. Non-ASCII characters can range from the entire character system found in Japanese or Hebrew to a few special characters found in French or Italian.
Essentially, IDN allows you to express a domain name in a foreign language.
What does an IDN look like? Let’s take a look at BJÖRGVIN.COM. Since this name has a non-ASCII character Ö, the IDN domain will be XN- -BJRGVIN-B1A.COM. The XN- - indicates the domain is encoded, BJRGVIN-B1A is the ASCII version of the original name, and the .COM extension is standard and requires no encoding.
Customers can now search for domain availability on .COM and .NET domains in over 100 languages! You’ll find the new IDN Search in the Domain menu as Internationalized Domain Names (IDN).
Vlogging is here! Record, encode and upload video files to your blog
January 9, 2008
Quick Blogcast users, now you can video blog – vlog – straight from your Quick Blogcast account! We make it easy to record, edit, compress, upload and post your videos seamlessly in one application… it’s easy. Best of all, your videos are viewable on nearly any PC.
All paid versions of Quick Blogcast have this feature – located under Manage Entries > Add Video. And while most other services let you upload your video files, encoding them on their servers, we do things a little differently. All the encoding occurs on your own system – eliminating long upload times and leaving file size and quality options up to you.
But that’s not all! You can also add photos to your entries from your Photobucket account! To get started, enter your Photobucket feed URL to your Quick Blogcast account and begin adding Photobucket images to your Quick Blogcast entries. It’s that easy! Simply log in to your Quick Blogcast account and select “Services” from the “Manage Blog” header.
