From Vandelay Design Blog: Designers and photographers have a number of options when it comes to photo editing. Of course, Photoshop is the most popular software, but there are a number of websites that allow you to edit photos online. Depending on your needs, the full version of Photoshop may not be necessary. In this post we’ll look at 31 options for editing photos online. (More …)

Taylor Swift Notice
Admin
Some have reported an inability to vote on the “Thumbs Up” Icon on
videos hosted by the Taylor swift website.The Digital team has only allowed one vote per video from the same IP
address
or single computer for 5 minutes. That means if two users on a
network attempt to vote for the same video, the second user will be
prevented.We added these restrictions in order to prevent abuse in voting for a
single video.That said, Entercom employees are hosted on a network with few network
gateways. If two users at Entercom attempt to vote for a video, the
second will be restricted for 5 minutes. Please keep this in mind
when you are unable to vote.If you experience this behavior, please wait five minutes, reload the
page and attempt to vote again. If you find that this still prevents
you from voting, please contact TSHelp.entercom.com.Thank you,

FlyCast, PODS and Voki (Oh My)
Admin
Hello,
We are of course violating the first rule of blogging by not posting meaningful updates more frequently. So here’s our attempt to address that.
Three quick updates have been pushed out in various forums, but seemed blog-worthy as well.
1. FlyCast – FlyCast is the company that is enabling us to stream to the iPhone and iPod Touch (and soon Blackberry, FYI). Right now, Portland, San Francisco and Seattle are streaming on FlyCast. Several markets are coming up (based on bandwidth and Digital sales readiness), and we are proactively reaching out to markets as we slate them. The FlyCast app is now the #9 most popular app in Apple’s app store. Everything you need to know about FlyCast is here.
2. PODS – At the beginning of 2008 we announced that we would be phasing out the seasonal PODS [Promotions on Demand] program in order to focus on station-specific content and BizDev/content initiatives such as 1Thing and Balance. That said, we are still supporting the current PODS if there are existing sales commitments. Nick Borders and the team need four weeks notice for these. More info here.
3. Voki – Oddcast, our partner who powers the Voki avatar communities, is no longer offering free Voki communities as a result of changes they have made internally. If you have a sponsor interested in sponsoring a custom Voki site, you should contact Sandy for details and pricing. These are generally in the $2,500-$5,000 range.

Brightcove Documentation and More
Admin
Heya all,
First up, Dan Muzyka has done some great work on documenting many of Brightcove’s features relevant to our needs. You can view his work on our Entercom Digital website.
Second, we’re working hard to get ads integrated into Brightcove through 24/7. The Brightcove and 24/7 staff has done this many times. However, the challenge is dealing with the special circumstances of dealing with a company with many market accounts and inside those accounts multiple stations with different advertising requirements. No worries, we’re getting it worked-out and we’ll be releasing this in the next week to WEEI.
Finally, Have you seen the new Balance website? No? We’ll keep you posted soon with a link. However, you can learn more about this here (pdf).

ETM + Voki = Press Darlings
Admin
Three very cool write-ups about our Voki sites appeared in the trades today:
MediaWeek’s Katy Bachman gave us top billing (over CBS) and some great industry perspective here.
DMNews ran a quick blurb about WFBC’s “Singing B”
Radio Online also mentioned it.
When we do cool, relevant things that serve our audience on our websites, the media notices, as do our site visitors!
EDITED Feb. 27th TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
In the MediaWeek article, I am quoted as saying “Radio station Web sites deserve the bad rap they’ve had.” Did I say this? Yes? Do I feel that way? Speaking generally, I’m sure many of us probably do. Was it a wise way to formulate my thought? No.
A better way of saying this would have been: “Entercom is striving to set new standards for what a radio station website can represent to our listeners…check us out, we’re making headway!”
I promise to try and not use negative formulations, and I apologize if reading that bummed anyone out (in addition to me and our CEO).

OneThing….USA!
Admin
Hey Y’all, I’m wrapping up implementing the OneThingNW site enhancements to the Seattle version of the site. Portland has done a decent job of creating a nice back-end for this that is relatively easy to replicate. For use by all of the markets, we will need to tidy a few things up. However none of that is a show-stopper.Check it out at http://www.onethingnw.com/seattle/
Also, I purchased the domain name “onethingusa” just in case you people outside of the glorious (and currently rainy) NorthWest want to take part.
