Zivity Blog

The Zivity studio is so frenzied with post-Valentine’s day activity that we’ve hardly had time to see our sweethearts, let alone blog. But don’t fret — more time between posts means more new stuff to tell you.

For our beta testers: we hope you're ready. We've bundled a ton of new goodies into this Valentine's day(-ish) release, as well as eliminated oodles of bugs. Check your inbox for a full run-down on what's new then log into beta.zivity.com.

A note to you dedicated beta testers who've been with us a few months now — some of you may be notice that Zivity's look and feel is becoming a little, well, “smoother.” Less raucous. More consistent. What the heck is going on here? Did we sell out? Are we going “web 2.0?” Did we stop giving our designers the good drugs free reign?

Please. Zivity is growing, and to support that growth we’re moving toward a consistent visual look & feel that preserves the clean presentation of photography we have today, while making the rest of the experience more sexy and powerful. We’re doing lots of tuning and integrating behind the scenes, polishing the rough edges and nudging the entire site toward a more integrated, “next wave” of the Zivity visual experience. What you see with this release is the first step. We hope you like it. But this is really just the beginning. Based on the feedback we’re getting so far, we think you’re going to be both proud and excited to be part of the process.

Finally, zivity.com the website got a make-over too. Info about our business of models, as well as our business model, should be easier to find now. We've added a glorious FAQ to answer your burning questions about uploading photos and synergizing backward overflow across your fan-base. Oh and a press page with, you know, press stuff. And more models.

As always, our beta waiting list keeps growing but we admit new members to the beta site daily so stay tuned. If you haven't applied yet, what are you waiting for?
