extended notes

We've extended the notes area to include the ability to upload files. You can now add your own product images, documentation (e.g., receipt), etc. The notes dialog now includes a 'type' and file upload control. You first set the note type by selecting one of the various radio buttons presented (e.g., product image). For those types requiring file upload, the file upload control is enabled so that you can selected a file. On OK the file is posted along with the note information.

The notes section has also been extended to present various thumbnail formats for uploaded files. Images are naturally small thumbs of the image (128x pixel), other file type (e.g, PDF) present their typical desktop icon.

At present there are no account quotas in terms of total bytes across the set of files one uploads. When (if) quotas are added, they are likely to be based on the user level.

where are you live (aka MSN)?

It will be 1 month tomorrow since we opened the doors to the search engines. Google and Yahoo have been steadily indexing our content, Live (aka MSN) hasn't done a thing. MSN indexes about 3 to 9 URL's a day, mostly repeating what it did before. We let loose 22,000 items (and another 3,000 recently), but Live hasn't discovered this or simply doesn't care.

Not saying we are the most important place on the Internet, but how can you win the search war Microsoft if you don't index content in a timely manner? This seems a sure way to lose.

I wonder how many days from now they will begin indexing our content en masse? I am not holding my breath!

groups

Those of you with Personafile accounts can now experience groups. A new home page (main page) has been added we call the "group view". In the group view, you can group like products, etc. This is the first of a few features that will allow i-links to carry grouped products.

Also the groups view allows you to delete more than one product at a time.
