Improved tracking for short-links and embedded media

poster-track

Since the release of our new Get Link feature, more than 70,000 short URLs have been created for Wiredrive presentations! Today, we’re making this popular sharing option even better with the addition of the new recipient-tracking label, which lets users add a custom tracking tag to any short-link or embed code.

Previously, sharing Wiredrive media via short-links or the embeddable media player made tracking presentation activity a little tricky because, once the link was taken outside the application and sent by email or posted to a website, Wiredrive had no way of knowing to whom it was sent or where it was embedded. Therefore, all the viewing activity associated with the presentation was attributed to the Wiredrive user that created it, not necessarily the person who viewed it.

With the addition of the new recipient-tracking label, users can now tag presentation short-links and embed codes with a custom word or phrase–like a name, email address, campaign title or website–that will make it much easier to identify the recipient and access important analytics in Wiredrive Reports.

Better sharing on social media

wiredrive thumbnails improvements for social media

If you’ve ever posted a Wiredrive presentation link to a social media site like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, you might have noticed that the thumbnail image eventually disappears.  This was a rather unfortunate side effect of Wiredrive’s rigorous security measures.  Today, we are pleased to report that we’ve made a system upgrade that resolves this issue and prevents thumbnails for Wiredrive presentations posted to social media sites from disappearing.  Additionally, you now have the option to choose a thumbnail image from any of the assets in the presentation to accompany your post.  Your Wiredrive files are still safe and secure, and now your presentations will look a little more complete when you share them.

A new look for a new year!

SU_NewSystemUI

While some people were sipping eggnog and watching the ball drop, we snuck Wiredrive into the body shop, smoothed the rough edges, threw on a new coat of paint and gave the application UI a good buff and polish. Today, we’re pulling back the cover to reveal a shiny new Wiredrive for 2013.

Highlights

  • Redesigned application interface with a contemporary style and configuration
  • Universal media player skin that displays uniform navigation controls across all filetypes, browsers and operating systems
  • Keyboard shortcuts for play/pause and frame-by-frame scrubbing available on all video formats

With this updated application design and new player skin, we hope to create a more modern, cohesive Wiredrive experience for our customers and their customers.

2013 is here, and we’re just getting warmed up. Stay tuned for some exciting updates and new features slated for release in the coming months!
