Blubrry Launches New Site Layout
I have been a member of the Blubrry community since it’s launch, I have always been a huge fan of their work.
I am delighted to see that they have updated their page layout - check out Middle Age Shed (love that logo!) and The Engaging Brand to see the new buttons.
The page looks clean and I love the simple layout….look at the range options
Add to Digg, Google, Delicious
iPhone feature
Zune
The tag feature is great for finding new shows and I also love the fact that the shows are now central to the page. Often directories are bland and look just like a long list of shows…Blubrry is different, it has a retail appeal in it’s layout. When you add to the design strength the ability to join affiliate programs and earn money from your podcast…it is a powerful package.
I think the only thing that is missing now is the community of the show. Would it be possible to have a news feed for the blog, or links to the facebook group etc…oh and of course the Facebook Blubrry player!
The art of search for podcasting is such a critical element of future growth….one of the reasons I use Blubrry as my link to my podcasts is that for people new to the medium, will find the site easy to navigate and easy on the eye….as I said with the retail feel. It is so important that people find the experience of listening to their first podcast or downloading their first show…easy, otherwise they will not stick around and it will be the equivalent of a lost shopper during the checkout process.
So well done Blubrry…as always love the changes
