Artician Update....Where are we going? - Artician Discussion Forums

So, many of you have been asking, where are we going with Artician, how long will we be in beta, and when will we get this place pumping with Artician juice? Well, all those are good questions, and that's why we are here to answer them.

Artician's progress has been increasing rapidly, as we move to the completion of Artician features, and more towards the preparation of promotional aspects. Here are some updates of what we have been working on, as well as some other goodies...

Groups
We are proud to say that Artician will have the most powerful groups system found on any social networking site. With full control over user permissions and content, groups will literally provide the ability to build your own mini community on artician. Managing Submissions, Sets, Packs, Contests, Events, Polls, Blogs, Users, Invitations, and other group interactivity will be EASY, and when we say easy, that means anyone can start their own group on Artician. Groups will have 3 entry paths...

Public Groups - Anyone can join
Private Groups - Users can request to join, and be accepted
Invite Only Groups - Users can only join if they have been invited

The list goes on, and on... but seriously... Most powerful groups system to hit the Internet. Oh, and if you maintain an artgroup, Artician will have everything you need! You can expect to see groups done within this coming month of August...So stay tuned!

Artician Feeds
Feeds, feeds, and more feeds! Now you can literally export almost any content on Artician...From blogs, to submissions, to user content, RSS feeds are available for everything.... You can even create and merge Artician feeds to generate your own custom mix of content from Artician...http://www.artician.com/feeds

Artician Widget
We will soon be releasing a sexy flash widget where you can stream your artician portfolio content on your website, blog, or other profiles...Should be available within the next week or so.. We will announce that in a separate topic so look out for that...

Bug fixes and improvements have been initiated all around the site over the last month or so, so things are really feeling solid. There are still some quirks out there, but we assure you we are aware of most if not all of them.

We have some other really, really, exciting news to share, but not until it's ready!....We know, secrets are no fun!

Check back for more updates!
