Folks, we've been working heavily on improving the 'product' of glowria, ie. our site, its content and experience.
First, we've just added an RSS feed generator: you can generate your own RSS feed with the information you are really interested in. That might be the DVD you have at home, the ones you've seen, the ones that will ship next, the new DVDs in our catalogue, etc. You can even choose the content you want in the feed: picture, actors, directors, synopisis... Pretty cool, to be absolutely up to date with our service.
Second, we've added an HTML generator for the RSS feed. That means that you just cut & paste the code we've generated for you and add it to your site or blog. The content will automatically adjust to what's happening at glowria every day. A great way to keep your blog fresh and dynamic. Check one example on my blog to the right (scroll down a bit).
Third, we've introduced film rankings: we've had our members rank our movies for the past 12 months. That means that we have now over 35,000 rankings & comments in our database for our more than 6,200 titles (remember glowria numbers never include adult movies, just in case you were tempted to compare our titles with competition). Hence we now display the average ranking of any movie as rated by our subscribers. You can now even give a mark to a movie without leaving a comment. This should become in the future as reliable as rankings on other major e-commerce sites.
Fourth, we've also expanded the information about all movies. You now have access to all the audio information (Dolby, 5.1, etc.) and subtitle information that we did not carry in the past. Not a big deal, but our members have been asking for it for a while, so there it is!
Fifth, we've also added upcoming DVDs as well. You can now add an upcoming DVD to your rental wishlist. It will be shipped to you as soon as it becomes available, and the date is shown to you. We keep up with our commitment to bring to our subs the largest and most available catalogue on the French market.
Plus a lot of other stuff to make our site more dynamic, better corporate information, a new offer for company employee councils (comités d'entreprise), FAQ, online invoices, an interface to change your credit card number, self-care tools, etc.
Coming up: expect a major increase in titles available in the catalogue, in availability per title, and a number of cool functions on the site. Oh... did I tell you we are now the online DVD rental channel on France's #1 ISP, Wanadoo ?
