Rotate Images
If you’ve ever posted a photo and it shows up up-side-down or sideways then you’ll appreciate this new little feature to fix it.
Enjoy!
Privacy in Social Networks?
I recently received an email with the following information:
…the top results from Harris Interactive’s survey of over 2,000 social media users.
- 44% want to create a place where they could only share with their close friends and family.
- 42% want to be more careful with what they shared online.
- 36% want more control over who can see what they shared.
- 25% want to spend less time updating social media accounts.
Check. Check. Check. Check. Sounds right up Spokt’s alley, right? I don’t buy it.
Here’s how this reads to me:
…the top results from Some survey of over 2,000 high school and college-aged girls:
- 44% want to date a nice guy.
- 42% want to spend less time hanging out with guys that are jerks.
- 36% want more controls and curfews put in place to keep them safe.
- 25% want to think more long-term when choosing who they date.
We know what is good for us but we don’t always do it. That’s life, right?
Sign up for spokt, invite your friends and family: be safe, live healthy.
New Photo List
I was looking for a photo the other day and it took me quite a while to discover that I never uploaded it to spokt. The experience reminded me that I wanted a better photo list.
Before:
After:
HTML5 Video (iPad, iPod Touch, & iPhone)
Now you can view videos posted to spokt on your iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone.
Also if you use Safari on your desktop the videos will use the html5 “video” tag instead of using flash.
Enjoy!
Merry (Late) Christmas
We fixed videos!
The video processing service we used was acquired by another company and it took some doing to integrate into the new system but I think we’ve done it.
Let me know if you have problems viewing old or uploading new videos.

From the Father-In-Law
Everyone has to live their own life which many times means we go our seperate ways. Ideally it would be great to all live in the same town so that we could visit often. Asher went away to another oasis of family. Reanne went away for military duty. This one is for you Dan: “Spokt keeps us together”.
Post Attachments
I wanted to share an audio file with my family so I added a feature that will let you upload files as attachments to posts. Just click “Add News” to see the new “Attachment” Browse button.
Share audio clips, genealogy files, spreadsheets, zipped archive files… whatever you want. Just keep it legal.
Enjoy.
