For those using the Alpha, you will need to update your bookmarklet. To do this, follow these simple steps:

1) Delete your current bookmarklet. In Chrome, you can do this via “Bookmarks Manager” under the bookmarks menu. In Safari, you can do this via “Show All Bookmarks” from the bookmarks menu.
2) Click “Add Media” from the Zeega header and drag a new bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar.

The main feature upgrades include:

New bookmarklet (aka “Add to Zeega”)

You can now add Flickr sets, Mapbox maps and YouTube channels. (For those interested in the code, the parser has now also been fully extracted as an independent entity).

New text layer

We realized this was a rough part of the tool, so we re-built it from scratch. It should work more smoothly and solve positioning and sizing issues, and set the stage for more advanced text options in the coming months (e.g. font choice, etc.)

General performance enhancements

Integration of popcorn.js

All of our time-based events are now running off Mozilla’s awesome popcorn.js library.

Upcoming updates

We will now begin pushing updates on a regular, biweekly basis. The next features you can anticipate in the coming weeks:
