FilmLoop Releases FilmLoop Player v1.1 for Windows

FilmLoop, Inc. has announced the general availability of FilmLoop Player v1.1 for Windows. The release of the latest version of FilmLoop's photocasting technology includes enhanced overall functionality, and enables users to subscribe to popular RSS photo feeds and Live Loops, and post links to their Loops on personal blogs or Web sites such as MySpace, Xanga, and Blogger.

The FilmLoop Player now includes added functionality and new features, including:

- Live Loops: For those FilmLoop users who want to know the latest on the NCAA Basketball Tournament, what's happening in the lives of their favorite celebrities, or breaking news from around the world, FilmLoop now offers live updates on news, sports, entertainment, and other popular categories. Once a consumer subscribes to a loop, it is automatically updated each day with new photos. Users can read an in-depth story about each photo by simply clicking on the image. The live updates provide an easy, fun, and compelling way to stay on top of all the latest news.

- Blog Links: FilmLoop now provides an easy way for its users to post links to their Loops on personal Web sites or blogs with "Looplets". Looplets let friends, family and colleagues subscribe to an individual's Loop from their personal Web site or blog. When a user updates their Loop, all their subscribers can now see the updates. Users can post Loops anywhere on the Internet, including MySpace, Xanga, Blogger, and eBay.

- RSS Feed: FilmLoop now provides a RSS photo feed that lets users browse images from popular RSS photo feeds or any Flickr RSS feed. With an RSS feed, FilmLoop will automatically deliver the latest photos directly to a user's Loop. The RSS feed also enables a user to click on an image to go directly to the photo's Web page.

- New Messaging/Notifications: Users can now filter notifications to show messages on the type of events that interest them (comments, new photos, new members etc.) Users can also choose how often notifications pop up. The notifications themselves now appear in a discrete "pop up toaster" style notifications window.
