coComment: Track Comments on sevenload
For quite some time now, we’ve offered our users the chance to follow what’s going on for all comments made on their photos/videos on the “What’s New?” page.
As a small addition to this (to add a bit more Web 2.0ness to sevenload) we’ve decided to integrate coComment onto sevenload. coComment allows users to track not only their own comments being made, but also those by others (made on other users photos/videos).coComment makes it possible for people to follow various comments made on websites, blogs and forums (even those that are already months old).
For most users, this feature is not something that is an absolute must-have, but we hope that it will prove to be both a handy and welcome tool addition for both bloggers and non-bloggers alike.
How does coComment work on sevenload?
The easiest method of properly using coComment on sevenload is to create a user acocunt on coComment and then install the extension or plugin (for example, for Firefox). But, simply signing up with coComment does not mean that it will automatically work on sevenload, but rather insured that you have access to coComment and also that it is compatible with your internet browser. In order to it to work on sevenload, go to your account settings and under notifications. Under Communications Options you will see the option to use coComment. After selecting yes and saving the changes, you will be able to track comments made on any photos/videos by checking off the “Track this Conversation” button (which is found just below the comment box for the corresponding photo/video). After that, you may look at the overview of all tracked comments on coComment itself.
Conclusion
If you are already using coComment on other blogs and forums should already have an idea of what it should be like on sevenload. If you are not yet familiar with coComment it might help to take a look at their getting started section. Adding coComment is surely a good addition in supporting more Web 2.0 features on sevenload.
Adding CC Licenses When Uploading
It was just mentioned in the last post that it would soon be possible to add CC licenses to your works while uploading. Well, you won’t have to wait any longer: Voila, it’s finished!
When you click on the details for a file just before it has been uploaded (on the upload page) you will see the “CC” Button which opens up a new window where you can add the appropriate CC License to your work. we hope that this helps alleviate the tedious process of having to a CC Licenses for each and every photo/video individually.
Better Creative Commons Support
We already incorporated Creative Commons onto sevenload in January. A lot of feedback came back to us from the Community about how we could better implement it and explain it to users- and our development team came up with a way to do searches under the parameters of certain CC licenses.
In addition, we’re planning on adding a feature that will let you add a CC License at the onset of uploading photos and videos. This hopefully will make it easier for you to share/protect your works on sevenload! 
If you haven’t heard about Creative Commons yet, this will be your chance to find out more about it!
sevenload Trailer: Beta Version
As Ibo already mentioned, the sevenload team, in particular Phillip, really put a lot in taking the sevenload Trailer out of the Alpha and putting it into the new, longer Beta Version. The result speaks for itself.

New Video Start Page
For those of you who like to watch lots of videos on sevenload, we’ve got something for you to get excited about: we have a new player on the video start page. The central point of this video page is going to be the TOP Videos of the week and another list of videos based on what users might enjoy watching. We hope that this feature will also make it easier to switch back and forth between individual videos.
Have any of you ever thought to associate the term “zapping” with videos on the internet? The idea of seamlessly switching between different videos allows us to take sevenload to new levels…
I Don’t Wanna Be on TV…
sevenload’s German showmaster 2.0 Rob Vegas has been mentioned in the media again: Focus (in German) reported on no one other than Rob himself. Our young talent proves himself to be down-to-earth and handles his Mindtime Show critically.
It’s no wonder that the young blogger has gotten offers from companies and television. “I’ve rejected all of that. I don’t want to be on TV, I want to stay on the internet”, said the student. Michel rather work on raising the technical quality of his show[...]
Professional level TV production is hardly affordable for sevenload users who up to now have been posting video shows they produced themselves on the internet. These offers are often quite alluring because the production company takes care of most of the costs, but in a lot of cases, there are several obstacles which seem to pop up over and over.
The ultimate goal of our work is to change the visual media scene. Everyone from the sevenload team is ready to do this by making their own contributions and to jump into action, as was the case last weekend when we had our very own “coding night!
It’s exactly for this reason that sevenload is promoting its emerging talent. We aren’t just supporting them as a service provider with the ability to support them technically, but also with regard to supporting the artists’ contracts and with legal questions about the videos they make. In other words: We won’t leave you on your own to sort things out!
