• You can now email clips to your friends and family using "holiday card" background images. The "email this clip" page now lets you choose from one of four holiday styles.
• You can now upload clips directly from your cell phone or any other mobile device that can send Internet email. Use the Uploading Profile page to create a special ClipShack address to use for uploading.
• When viewing a clip, you can now see a list of "related" clips that have similar tag words.
• We now show you thumbnail images of the next and previous clips in whatever list you're viewing.
• You can now rate clips, from one star (poor) to five stars (excellent). We'll soon be using these ratings to present "best clip" contests, and for now you can browse all top-rated clips from the Home page.

• Now on the Home page, you can see the most popular tags and search directly on them. Performance of searching is also greatly improved.
• When you upload clips, the default for "who can see" is now "everyone", but you can always change that if you wish.
• You can now be notified via email when someone makes a comment on one of your clips. If you don't want these notifications, you can always disable that on your Profile page.
• The Topics page now shows the clip that was most recently added to each topic.

• We've made some changes to our pages to make blogging of clips even easier than before. On every page where you see a video player, we give you the HTML code to paste graphical clip links directly into a blog entry. These URLs are "permalinks" that will never change.
• You can now save any clip on the site into your "Favorites" list for easy viewing any time. Just look for the "Add to My Favorites" button when you see any clip. You can always find your Favorites list on the Home page.
• We've fixed a problem that was sometimes causing a clip's counter (showing the number of times it has been viewed) to be reset.
• ClipShack now has over 6200 members! Welcome to all!

• Enhancements made to streaming server for better playback. Increased format support to include additional video and audio codecs.

August 16, 2005

• Sorry, but there was a problem with the ClipShack Uploader throughout the weekend. You probably would have seen "retrying" in the progress window but the upload would never finish. We've fixed this on the server end, so you don't need to get a new version of the application. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

August 8, 2005

• The ClipShack Uploader is now available. Install and use it to upload larger files with greater reliability than your web browser.
• ClipShack has over 1600 members and 3500 clips in just 8 weeks!

July 23, 2005

• Added several new Topics to the list. Add your existing clips into a new topic by clicking "Edit" on the clip's page and checking one of the topic checkboxes.
