ThumbStrips

You asked for it and you got it! Thank you all so much for your feedback on our initial version of the visual web history tool we launched 6 months ago. We pored through the hundreds of comments and emails that we received and used that feedback to create the latest version of ThumbStrips. We even had a few of you test this latest release for us (thanks to those that volunteered).

What’s new in 1.5 (get it here)?

• You can now drag and drop your thumbnails to create your own sort order.
• Your sort order is now saved with the ThumbStrip.
• We fixed performance issues (script errors) when saving a ThumbStrip.
• Sites can be blocked from recording. You can now choose to block a particular page, an entire domain, or you can use the custom option to restrict a subsection of a site.
• The toolbar has been redesigned for both form (looks cool) and function (takes up less space and is more intuitive)

Please let us know what you love, what needs to be improved, and why. Also, we would love to know what you use ThumbStrips for so others can learn how take advantage of it, so please comment on that too!
On a side note we have entered ThumbStrips in Mozilla’s Extend Firefox 2 Contest. Wish us luck!

Thank you all and have a Happy New Year!

Since its release in May 2007, Thumbstrips has been wildly successful beyond any of our expectations with over 50K downloads.  We have received incredible feedback which we put to good use in coming up with our latest version.  Now, we are looking for 6 of our users that would have fun testing our new version of Thumbstrips that is set for Beta this week.  Please leave a comment (something like “me please”, “TS rocks”, or “count me in”).  This is a first come first served basis, so please let me know.

Thanks for playing “innovation” with me,
Jonathan
