'Tis The Season For Giving

With the holiday season upon us, we're in the giving mood already. Today, we released some important new features at CloudSponge we thought you might be interested to hear about. I say this because we've heard from YOU, our customers and want to give back to you some of the items you had on your wish list.

Here's a quick rundown of what's new.

1. Overlay Widget Demo Video - People always ask us "What's CloudSponge all about?", "How does CloudSponge work?", "What does it look like for my site?". Well, we now have an improved demo video to show you how CloudSponge works. We walk you through a typical "Invite Your Friends" application that most customers use CloudSponge for. Enjoy!
   
   
2. Search box on "Choose Your Contacts" - Your users now have a search box available to them to search through a long list of contacts. This will help them choose their contacts quicker and get them back to your website sooner.
   
   
3. Custom anchor text or image to call widget - You can now create your own custom anchor text or image to call the overlay widget. By default, the anchor text reads as "Add from Address Book", but you can change this to whatever you want.
   
   We've had people also ask us about adding the the individual address book icons here to call the individual import processes. We're still working through a solution for this one. You can follow this thread here.
   
   
4. Return contacts from the widget - "Out of the box" we realized our new overlay widget did not provide a way to bring the contacts back to your site without writing additional JavaScript. Since we want to make things super easy and dead simple to install, we now have included this feature in the HTML we provide you.
   
If you've been looking for #3 and #4 above, sign in to your CloudSponge account to get an updated HTML snippet to paste into your site.

This has all been made possible through our new feedback forum. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with their feedback.
