August 24, 2005 – Toronto – BlogMatrix is pleased to announce version 6 of our blogging platform. “The new look and feel is friendlier and the functionality is richer,” states David Janes, founder of BlogMatrix. “The user experience should be second to none for podcasters, videocasters and bloggers in general.”
New features include a tagging directory for podcasts, iTunes publishing, support for many established standards including XHTML, Yahoo’s Media RSS and microformats, and “ping” support for popular podcast and blogging directories.
“For the subscriber, the new features will make it easier to organize media files and to get them out to your desired audience, whether that is a select group or the public at large,” says Janes. “The end user benefit is in the ease of subscription, download and search.”
BlogMatrix has been in an extensive free trial period to better understand our subscriber’s needs and behaviours. Based on our research, the new billing process is unique and offers one of the best values in the industry with rates from free to less than 1 dollar a day. Rates are based only on active storage used; there is no charge for bandwidth.
