Introducing: More Content for Less Space

Here too, our new Multiple RSS reader got lots of great responses in our forum (http://forum.effectivebrand.net). For those not familiar yet with this hot new feature, we tweaked our toolbar RSS reader and decided to go multiple...
What's in it for me, you might ask? Well, the ability to add multiple RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds in one reader, therefore you can offer more content to your users while saving toolbar space. In addition to the content of your site, you can offer your users other relevant info from a range of RSS feeds, widely available on the Web.

Search and You Shall Find

We've recently added all the custom search engines that you've defined in your toolbar to our hosted search results page, making them more accessible and noticeable to your users.

In order to see this in your toolbar, all you need to do is change your toolbar's search provider to our hosted search results. When you change your engine provider, don't forget that you can also brand the search results page with your logo, so your users will be exposed to it more often when using your toolbar.

It's Getting Hot in Here!

What's hot and sizzling in our toolbar?
The new Weather component that so many toolbar publishers have asked for.
This is good news for everyone.

Your users will enjoy:
  • Temperature always on their desktop
  • Reliable data on local or global weather
  • Accurate 3 day forecasts
You will definitely see more stickiness and greater satisfaction among your users.
Go for it! To add the weather component to your toolbar just login to your account and click on it from the list of available components.
