feature release: faster thumbnails and testing mobile

// May 13th, 2009 by Mario Anima

Hey Currenteers, it’s time once again for another product release on Current.com. This time around we’ve made some improvements to our thumbnail creation process. You may recall the grey “image processing” thumbnails that would show up when you submit a new item to Current?

Well, the team has worked diligently to reduce the amount of time needed to create a thumbnail for new submissions. This means faster thumbnails, and hopefully less time with “image processing” messages on Current.com. Keep an eye on the new feed, which is a stream of new submissions to Current.com, and check out how quickly new thumbnails resolve. Spiffy!

Special thanks to our dev team! You guys rock!

And that’s not all! We’ve received some steady feedback regarding a mobile version of Current.com. While our iPhone and Andriod compatible version of Current.com have been in the wild for some time, we haven’t fully supported other mobile browsers to the mix…until today.

Point your digital leash of choice to http://m.current.com/ to access a mobile version of Current.com. This is, we stress, a test of the mobile webapp, but please let us know how things go. Shoot us feedback, suggestions, and bugs (include your device and browser type) over on our Get Satisfaction page for Mobile Current.

As always let us know what you think in the comments,

- mario
