Those who read my blog on a regular basis may remember my comments on the launch of Abazab a few weeks back. Recently, I was emailed some info about changes and additions to the site...it seems as though they have been hard at work. I am still not fond of their actual site design. Its very non-intuitive and I had to search for five minutes to find the small login link on the upper right hand corner (maybe I just have bad eyesite). But they seem to be placing a little more emphasis on visiting the site to do more then just register, so maybe a new design is in the works.

The most interesting addition to their service seems to be that they now support adding video clips from YouTube with a simple click within your abazab player. Interesting. They have also increased the number of filetypes they support including: 3gp, avi, dv, mov, qt, mp4, mpg, asf, wv, flv, and m4v. And for those people who don't have websites, blogs or myspace, they are now offering a free webpage for your playbox through their site. Mine has no videos, but you get the idea.

They have also launched a blog for users to keep up with changes to the service. Apparently, according to a more recent post, they have been having some significant trouble with playboxes embedded in myspace, especially with myspace's new support for Flash player 9 (which seems to mean that all abazab users will have to delete and re-submit their playboxes).
