New Things For You To Look At On Super Deluxe

We here at Super Deluxe are on an endless mission to improve the site, rarely leaving our cavernous new residences to do anything more than get more energy-providing corporate caffeine. But that’s really not our point. Here are some *NEW* features for you to enjoy today:

First up, we redesigned the top Featured Video area on our homepage. Since many of you thought this was an advertisement, we wanted to make it look less like an ad and more like something that you should want to watch. Immediately. We’re using script.aculo.us to obtain the whiz-bangy transition effect. Cool, ain’t it?

Next, Related Videos. As you might imagine, these are videos related to the one you are currently watching. There’s a secret algorithm behind this amazing component that will deliver only the best videos. Sometimes it’ll be videos with similar tags or videos by the same uploader, or something totally random that’ll have you asking questions like, “How the hell is that related?” Trust me, it’s supposed to work that way.

Also, Social Bookmarks: This is an easy and convenient way for you to post a video to Digg, Facebook, or Del.icio.us and share with the masses. After watching a video, simply click on one of the links to post to the desired site. It’s so easy even El Douche A could figure it out.

On the bug-fix side of things:

You may have noticed that occasionally Profile pages would report that a member only had 10 uploads, when you know they have more. This was seen mostly on our Artist pages that have a lot of uploads, such as Brad Neely or Fark TV. We fixed this so now all their uploads can be browsed. It should be noted that the videos were always there, it’s just that you would have had to search for them to find them. Anyway, now it’s easier to watch Prof. Brothers present History Lesson #1.

So we all win.

And, I’m done. ‘Til next time, I bid you adieu.
