So… what’s new now ?
Well.. quite a lot actually.
Those who have followed our developments directly on the site(s) (www.petdirekt.se and www.soschats.fr - www.soschiens.fr) have seen a couple of links being added since the beginning of the year. Time to make a summary of all that.
First we have much improved the “lost pet” function. The user is now invited to map the found pet directly on the map and register the details afterwards. More acurate and less time consuming. On the lost pets button on the top menu, the user can also access a list of the lastest lost and found pets with an interactive map showing the exact position of the pet when it was lost (for lost pets), and of the found pet (for the found ones)
As far as the content is concerned we are trying to find a way to make best use of the zillion of articles and videos for pet care, pet health etc..that are available out there on the web. One example of our development can be found on the pet articles where we illustrate articles with videos from youtube.
We also have an on going development with videos from youtube. The ambition being to have an encyclopedia for pet owners. The concept is simple, we structure the petcontent in two levels (probably three levels soon) The first level is the category (care, health, fun, training) the second level is a more detailed description of the content available (teeth, ear, fur) for CARE, (fetch, sit, come, toilet) for TRAINING etc…
Once the first and the second level are selected, 4 lists of video resources are available
The first one is a handpicked selection of videos
The second one shows a video originating from selected sources
The third one shows video recommended by users (if you feel like reconmending a video just past the youtube URL for the video you would like to recommend for the selected category)
The final one is a rough selection with specific criteria
Try it out, it’s quite fun!
we have also improved the search functionality for pets. Nopw you can search for a cat or a dog directly from the top of the page. That was a minor add on but much expected, people were wondering what this empty field meant.
OK enough for now, I’ll tell you more about the PetDirekt videos later !
