It is now easier to listen to and watch podcasts on CastRoller. There is now a small link next to every media player on the site that will cause the same player to open up in a small window. This lets you enjoy a podcast while continuing to browse CastRoller or the rest of the web.
Last evening we published a brand new feature that will greatly increase the social aspect of CastRoller. You can now share any podcast episode with any of your contacts on CastRoller. You can either share with one of your contacts or with all of your contacts.
When an episode is shared with you, it appears in your inbox. A new page that lists all of your received episodes. Of course, there is an RSS feed for your inbox, so you can have all of the episodes shared with you automatically appear on your computer or device.
You will also be sent an e-mail letting you know the details of the shared episode. You can opt out of receiving these e-mails with a new option available on the settings page.
We hope you enjoy the new feature, please let us know what you think!
CastRoller will be unavailable from 5:30 EDT to 7:00 EDT this evening for scheduled maintenance.
We will be moving the site over to new servers to better accomodate our growing needs.
Update: The move went smoothly with no down time. We made some updates to CastRoller’s DNS, so please let us know if you you find anything wrong.
In order to better prepare ourselves for traffic, we moved over to a new webhost, Mosso. Unfortunately, they are experiencing some difficulties at the moment that are impacting CastRoller.
Hopefully the problem will resolve itself shortly. I will update this post once things are back to normal.
Update: The problem has been resolved, sorry for any inconvenience.
