Want to be featured in our new newsletter?

Monday, June 21st, 2010

In the coming few weeks we’re going to be starting a new, monthly email newsletter. As well as offering tips, advice and highlighting some great gigs, every month we’ll be featuring a Gigger user!

Whether you’re a band, singer-songwriter, photographer or general gig-lover, get in touch telling us why we should feature you, including approx 200 words for the newsletter describing yourself. And make sure your Gigger profile is up to date and you’ve added some good gigs!

So if you want us to do a bit of promoting on your behalf to all the Gigger users out there, then get in touch.

Introducing short URLs

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

We’ve begun to introduce new short URLs into the Gigger offering, meaning less characters in those tweets!

Meet http://gigr.it

You’ll see this short URL in use on gig pages for you to use elsewhere on the web to link back to that gig’s page. And we’ll use it when you share gigs on Twitter via the ’share’ link on the gig pages.

We plan to make more use of this short URL in the future – however can’t say too much about that at the mo!! In the meantime keep sharing your gigs and sharing the new short URLs on the web…

Au revoir!

Testing large file uploads

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

We’re currently in the process of testing the ability to upload larger video files to Gigger. We realise the current cap of 100mb may be somewhat constricting so are looking to increase this.

It has meant a bit of a rewrite of our Flash-based file uploader so that it now supports files in excess of 100mb. There will still be a maximum limit (yet to be decided) however should offer greater flexibility for you video makers out there!

As I said we’re currently testing this however we hope to roll it out soon… We shall post an update here once it’s live.

Steve.
