WIP 101

Mike Patterson — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:31:25 +0000

So by now you know that WIP is about plugging you in to up-to-the-second information. So how do you do that?

Simple.

1. Search for what you want to WIP.
2. Click on the result.
3. Click the WIP button to WIP it!

WIP will then ask you start an account or sign in so we can track your WIPs. Once you do, you are plugged in and we will update you whenever you have new up-to-the-second information from your WIPs (more on that later!)

Plug in to whatever you're into - e.g. iTunes

We’re proud to announce that we are launching the site in a protoype BETA. Check it out and give us feedback so we can build on WIP and improve it for everyone.

We’re building in the capability for you to plug in various different types of content. So anyone that WIPs you can check out your Twitter feed, your Facebook status, your YouTube videos, your RSS feed. Plug in whatever you’ve got, hopefully we can take it!

WIP on the Web! On the way…

Mike Patterson — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:08:46 +0000

We’re very excited to announce a soon to be released web-based version of WIP to complement our WIP desktop download. We have currently finished design and are working on development and implementation. You will be able to do all the things you can do through the WIP download and then some…here’s a sneak preview, we will reveal more as we see fit! Stay tuned.

Download – checking your new messages

Once you get the WIP download, you’ll notice things showing up in the ticker at the bottom of your screen (anyone with a new message will show up automatically). Just click the name of the thing that you have WIP’d and up comes the latest message.

The download double click…

Double clicking can get you a long way with the WIP download. Now we all know that double clicks can be a bit tricky with Flash but we think we have it down pretty nicely.

So first, double click the center ring and the download will display a list of all the things that you have WIP’d. There’s a running tally in there of all your favorite stuff…whether it’s your friends, your blogs or any other sites.

Then, when you want to see your latest message, double click that name in the WIP slidebox and your latest message(s) will show up.
