Besides being an awesome holiday of 420 today is also anniversary of Tim Hetherington’s death. Tim is one of the author of Restrepo - a book and documentary on lives of American soldiers in Afghanistan. He died shortly after we have started working on iPad app for his book but he made a great impression on me during that time. Although I am against senseless violence, murder and wars in general, Please take a moment to think of and give respect to all the people who have decided to give up their lives and health for our welfare.

As I have mentioned before, there are few things that are going to be changing. And it is all for the best: better design, better accessibility (we will be fully supporting iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry Playbook -with more support for other devices coming soon). With that in mind the update is likely to be rolling out sometime this May. But that’s a long way! So just to keep things fresh, I’m happy to bring you the good news about immediate shopping experience at ArtSocket: our store app just got better!! If you’ve been waiting for a better way to buy printed artwork - now is the the time:

We have been working on the new version (v3.0) of our widget for a while now.  After testing it on selected websites for a couple of weeks, we are happy to announce the public release of the new widget to all users.

We have completely redesigned our widget. The photo preview area is now bigger, all products are accessible from the main window, selecting the crop-area is much more user friendly, check-out process is two-steps shorter, and the overall design is cleaner and more beautiful. Beside that the new design will let us reduce the number of toolbar buttons to a single “Buy” button (which will be coming soon!).
