March 3, 2011 - Our development team has just completed an update that gives Publishers a new option for reporting statistics on their publications. Google Analytics (GA) has become the tool of choice for many companies when it comes to tracking the performance of their websites and now Magazooms digital publications can push data to GA accounts as well. Publishers may still use the built-in statistics report in the Publishers Console AND also use Google Analytics as well. Data sent to Google Analytics is very detailed and tracks not only page views but user searches, playing of integrated youTube video, and hyperlink click-throughs etc....

Our development team is almost ready to release the production version of our new Subscription Management System.

This new powerful tool will give publishers the ability to manage subscriptions to not only their online and mobile versions but their print version as well. Our goal was to create a comprehensive tool that is integrated within the Publishers Console to make it simple and easy to manage subscriber information. Email blast, text messaging, and exporting mail list are some of the extra features that are included.  Each publication is given its own subscription order form that handles the sign-up and Credit Card payment processing and feeds data into the Publishers Console.

There is a special Quick Response barcode generator that produces a customized barcode which can be scanned by smart phones and takes the reader directly to the Subscription Form to sign-up. Expected release for the version 1.0 is March 15, 2011.

 

 

Magazooms, a SaaS (software as service online application we describe as PCMS (Publishing Content Management System), enables publishers to transform and manage their publication with integrated video, publish and search them online, and measure each in terms of performance with their audiences.

 

Magazooms Server is also delivered as a turnkey self-hosted solution for enterprise applications.

Publishers simply provide their publication or document as a PDF file and our service transforms them into an interactive format using the Magazooms Reader for users online , Magazooms Desktop for users offline , and MZReader for users with iPhone and other compatible devices. The original PDF is always available for print or to save, while the Magazooms interface offers a unqiue presentation with features that bring more value and utility to the publication.

Our production servers and online management tools make it easy for publishers to transform, release, control, manage, and track their publications without any additional software.

All publishers may integrate their publication(s) within their existing web site domain while Magazooms provides production, hosting, delivery, and tracking services.

Publishers have these features and services at their disposal.

Full Content Search Print pages or save as PDF Readers can share with their friends and family Sell rotating Ads just for your digital edition Personal Bookmarks Click to add products to the shopping cart Update or change pages between printings Readership statistics, maps, and charts for analysis Distribute on CD/DVD for reading offline Control access - require reader validation (optional) International Language Support - User Interface

Video Playlist is, no doubt, the most powerful enhancement to Magazooms Reader since the release of version 1.0.

Playing video clips in Magazooms is not new, in fact, this ability has been in place since version 1.0, but this new ability to integrate video playlist from external sources is a real game changer.

For example, publishers with their own youTube channel can connect any of their publications to specific youTube playlists. Its just drop-dead easy to do and any publisher has this option.

We are very please to announce the introduction of the MZreader , designed especially for iPhone and soon to be available on the new Apple iPad once it becomes available. This first release will have the ability to search not only the current edition of the publication but also all past issues and return Google-like results. Readers may then select the pages of interest for reading in a high quality, scalable rendering. MZreader can email pages directly from the app, and save favorite publications, issues, and pages for easy access later. Plans to deliver much of these same features to Blackberry and Android later this year.
