I swear, you AWW guys never miss an opportunity to talk trash about us.

"Nobody used it" :1orglaugh


As I have already told... Updatem is NOT a CMS exactly, and it is not and was never meant to compete directly with AdultWebWare, ContentGod, MAS, etc... these are higher end (and higher priced) "full featured" CMS solutions that may or may not incorporate the simple per-user Update Management features of UpdateM.

If we made a product to compete directly with yours, trust me, you would know.

Per-user updates (different users on different updates) is a feature that we had been using since 1998 or so on our own sites.

Also, with Updatem, you don't pay for licenses per domain, you pay per server. ($549 first server, $99 each additional). So if you have 100 paysites on a single server, you only pay $549 and can use Updatem on all of them.


We made Updatem as a sort of modern-day improvement of what we used to run way back when --

A simple way to give out daily updates (or whatever time frame you want) to your paysite members on a per-user basis so that you could create a site, load it up with updates, and never have to touch it again. When the member gets to the "end", then you can offer them access to another one of your paysites (or add more content to that one).



Anyway... see sig if you want to check it out :winkwink:

Hey goBigtime, I hope you've understood me correctly. When talking "nobody used it" I was talking about the per-user content rotation which we have removed out that, please read me message again. I'm very glad to know that your software is selling well.

I never "speak trash" about anybody, so I think you are not correct on this at all.

I just stated the very mine point of view in the neutral manner as I always do.

I'm sure you've got great product and we could work together very well, because we're serving different markets.

I know that Updatem is not a CMS, its just an updating tool. All I've said was that we had the same algorythm developed for quite a while ago and that's Updatem is nothing new about this exact algorythm. That's it and nothing more than that.

I have also stated that we have up to 4 different automatic updates algorythms, which might cover the needs of Updatem owners.

Please read carefully, I do not have any anger or any type of bad feelings to anybody. I love you all =)

And, traditionally, I do wish you the best!

:thumbsup

Hey, that could be kind a great idea of yours.
I would love to have +1 competitor in the area. Join the family :1orglaugh

I remember not so long ago you said something to the effect of "I'd be surprised if anyone is using Updatem at all" this was amidst other negative & speculatory things you said about the Updatem software in the same thread.

:glugglug

Well, that was true, I'm really surprised if anyone uses Updatem, because from our personal experience that algorythm didn't work well for a quite long period of time. And I remember there were a lot of people discussing that for quite a while ago on some thread here on GFY.

Bad to know that this sounds negative to you.

Let me know what else you think is negative about your product so we could discuss it.

I think if your product is selling well, you wouldn't find these notes "negative" as any other note. That is just another point of view. And your negativity is a mark that things are not that good as you wanted them to be.

I think your product will be selling better if you'll make the setup easier. From what I saw at your site is that paysite owner should manually edit paths to each galleries he has to be added to the updates mechanics. I think that might be a pain for ones with 900+ galleries.

As far as I know, Webmasters who are looking to automate their updates doesn't have that much time to spend it on editing such detailed input fields per each update.

Knowing all that from the beginning, we have created as easiest way to start automatic updates as possible. Paysite owner just should pick his desireable content rotation algorythm and specify how many galleries he/she wants to be updated and how often. That takes about 3 minutes, including thinking time for taking decision. That shows the way we do products for -- to be feature-rich, easy-to use and fast to setup.

Here you can see how that works:

Plus, it is said on your website, after submitting a registration form, that "you are about to enter beta-testing area". I hope you have already tested your product and this is just a typo.

It's been 10 weeks now, what do you have?

One final bump for the later shift

Definetly go for Sitedepth

We already bought that, but i'm running into problems right away. It's not as flexible as I thought it'd be. It's coded in zend as well, so I cannot change minor things myself either. Then there's the video issue. We have over 1000 videos to upload, no way we can do that one by one.

Support is good though, so maybe it will get solved easily, but for now it is not doing what we need.

Has anyone previewed the Nats new CMS?

I think that will shake things up....

For a little more info

Is AWW coming back?

They have never gone anywhere. Hell they are working on an upgrade for me as I type this.

Oh, ok.. I just wanted to see screenshots of what they are offering.

I am waiting too. Site Depth Blows. Awiz Blows. If aww doesn't comeout soon I will bite the bullet and buy/try MAS, and Nats.

I really don't want to pull my coder from other projects to build one custom.

*sigh*

Top Jimmy, be so kind and explain what aWIZ "blows" exactly?

You masturbate to "product" aww, which site is down for 14 monthes!!! Well, it's up to you. But you try to bark to aWIZ, which provides updates TWICE per month, offers great level of features and support, - and are tenfoldly cheaper, than some other CMS's!
