New Features and Hot Music

Here a quick update from the gBox team:

New Features

Facebook gBox Celebrate. Our new calendar feature is now online! Remember to send a valentine gift, check your friends birthdays, or make up your own special day. Any event is good enough to give a gift!

Territory support. Due to the content territory restrictions, we have enhanced several parts of our infrastructure. We are currently limited to sell content within the US, but working on new agreements that include worldwide distribution rights. However, if you live outside the US, you may still gift a US resident. If you experience any problems, please let our support team know.

Hot Music

The Top 3 Gifts this month are
Timbaland ("Apologize"), Feist ("1234"), and Fergie ("Glamorous").

The Top 3 Wishes this month are Fergie ("Big Girls Don't Cry"), Timbaland ("The Way I Are"), and 50 Cent ("Ayo Technology").

We are releasing new content on a weekly basis! In case you wonder, all our music is coming from both major and independent labels. And e're working on making all of these albums easier to find in our portal. Stay tuned, more content is in the pipeline...

New "My gBox" page

We just added a cool new "My gBox Account" page, where you can view how many promotional gBucks you have in your account, change your password, or complete you registration if you signed up through Facebook.

By the way, we also launched a small survey -- complete it, and we'll deposit 3 shiny gBucks into your account!

Enter 2008. What's Next?

In the months ahead, gBox will work on several fronts: New features for our widget, new features specifically for our Facebook integration, new features for our site, and more MP3 content. So, there is a bunch of fun stuff coming up...

Meanwhile, we are starting the new year with a small promo: For a limited time, our Facebook users will be able to gift their friends from a set of WMA songs for free! The selection will change daily, so you should check back often.

NOTE: We are always happy to hear from you, and to add new ideas to our list of enhancements and improvements to gBox! Simply respond to this posting, or mail to feedback@gbox.com.

Content, Content, Content

We have just completed yet another music content update (this time a large independent music label aggregator), pushing our total count of tracks online to well above 1 Million. And most of it is in user-friendly MP3 format!

And there is more to come: A new content catalog is being prepared, and will be loaded in the next few weeks. We hope to get it online for you before Christmas.

You might have noticed that we also offer music in WMA format. This is DRM-encoded content (requiring a license to play), which was the only digital music format that all four major labels had supported, and subject of many heated discussions. However, a renewed interest in DRM-free music by the majors this year has allowed gBox to offer you a great selection of MP3 albums and hits!

New gBox Widget Update

We are updating our gBox wishlist widget! This release will include various improvements, including a new (animated) look, drag-n-drop functionality, and performance tweaks.

The major new feature, though, is the ability to listen to sound clips directly within the widget. This means that anyone looking at your wishlist, now also can listen to a sample preview of each song.

Let us know what you think. Your feedback is always welcome!
