NEW StampWants - Revolutionary My Bar Feature Part 1/3

Postby Mark on Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:10 pm

In past posts and newsletters we referenced a revolutionary feature that will be available in the NEW StampWants - the My Bar feature. The StampWants My Bar is a bar which will appear at the bottom of every screen and blend in with your internet browser. For all intents and purposes it will appear as if it's just an additional bar actually built in to the bottom of your browser (like the status bar). But it's actually part of StampWants, and does not require anything to be installed. However, it will offer many powerful, simple, and useful features.

Today we'd like to share some of those features with you (but far from all). To start, here's an example of the bottom left hand side of the screen in the NEW StampWants (I've included part of the windows start menu as well, for reference):

Notice how it's very small and unobtrusive. Yet you can click on any of the options on the left hand side to reveal a box which will show you the related images and remain in top of the screen (until you close it):

What's truly revolutionary about this feature is that you can keep this small box open as you move around from page to page if you want. To best explain why you would do this I will give an example. In the image above the "Items I'm Watching" items are show. However, I used that for an example simply because I am not currently bidding on any items. However, if you are, you could expand the "Bidding On" box, and leave that on top. Items you are winning will have a green price, and items you are not winning will be in red. The BEST part is that this window is updated in real time. Which means if you are bidding on items which are about to end you can just view this window and watch the items countdown til they close in real time! And, if you're outbid you'll instantly know (as the price will immediately turn from green to red)! So, you can continue to browse and use StampWants as normal, yet ensure you don't miss out placing any needed last minute bids.

This part of the My Bar is actually the least revolutionary and exciting feature of what the My Bar has to offer...

I REALLY like being able to see items I am bidding on and watching while looking at other material--that will be VERY helpful. :thumbup:
Counting down to the day when we can use it :whistle:

Will you be needing BETA testers? :wink:
