First of all let me share with you two recent musings about KlipFolio. NoHeat.com sticks it to the big boys in an article entitled Klipfolio takes on Microsoft and Google with a solid sidebar, and Simon Dickson at BT Broadband Office calls us the "dark horse" among sidebars (a title we take as quite the compliment) in this article called Enhance your Productivity with a Bit on the Side.
Also, in an effort to continually improve the KlipFolio.com experience, and to add features that will drive Klip downloads for authors, here are two recent additions to KlipFolio.com:
1. Klip Localization. Klip authors can set the language, country and now even your Klip's specific location. Doing this will make sure your Klips are being seen by the right people.
2. Klip Screenshots. Check out the Tagesschau.de and the KlipFolio Forum Klips to see this in action. Authors can now upload up to 3 screenshots of their Klip. Klips with screenshots get more downloads, so don't delay.
Although it seems to us like we just got back from the east coast (WidgetsLive! and Fast Forward '07), we already have plans to head out again. Not that we're complaining ... if it's warmer than Ottawa, it's a welcome break.
This time, we're heading down to the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, April 15th to 18th. With many well thought out sessions and a slew of interesting companies attending, it looks like CMP and O'Reilly will be putting on a good event.
So make sure to let us know if you'll be there. It's always great to hook up with other KlipFolio users.
Many of you participated in our KlipFolio user survey last year. A massive undertaking, which asked all types of questions that helps us get a better sense of who and where you are and how you're using KlipFolio. We received over 3000 responses. Here are some of the highlights!
We ran the same survey in 2004. Here is a quick note on what's changed and what has stayed the same.
The overwhelming majority of KlipFolio users are still male, however, the age distribution has moved up a notch - over half of users are now between 25 and 50. English continues to be the choice of language with about half of our users, but European languages are gaining to make up the bulk of the balance. Unchanged from 2004, KlipFolio is being used every day, generally for personal interests and almost three-quarters have between 5 and 20 Klips. Users still lean towards being early adopters (but not quite as much as in 2004), using the internet a few hours each day.
