How does eblizz work? How effective is eblizz?
starting a two-way conversation between consumers and brands
In this weeks update we improved the friends section of the SocialSpace. Our goal was to reduce the load time and to support Facebook users with very high friend counts (one of our users has 1,500 friends).
To achieve that we had to reengineer both the retrieval code and to implement local caching. In the end we got, on average, a 5 times performance gain in typical usage scenarios, and even up to 10 times as much for users with more than 500 friends.
Adding caching had an additional benefit. For a period of 24 hours your friends are cached locally so opening the friends section should be almost instantaneous after the first time.
We are planning to include local caching in all the other parts of the SocialSpace during the next couple of weeks, especially the streams view, which is the most time consuming operation so far.
We hope you enjoy it.

eblizz is enhancing the web experience with two all new features:
the SocialSpace and the ShoeBox
SocialSpace acts as a gateway to share web content in an exciting and simple way. Visually a dynamic collection of friends profile pictures collected from the users social networks the SocialSpace allows to drag&drop any sort of content onto a friend’s picture. eblizz then automatically delivers that content to that friends personal page in the respective social network.
ShoeBox is a personal place in the web where users collect content of their choice. The ShoeBox is not an archive of links but contains the original content itself (text, pictures, videos, products) and preserves it for later use even when the original source no longer exists. Users access their ShoeBox through eblizz apps available for Facebook, Myspace, the iPhone, Google phone and others
Boomers. Gen Xers. Millenials – Today’s digital consumers are rapidly adopting and integrating social media into their everyday lives. In fact, this has resulted in a whole new form of marketing: Social Influence Marketing (SIM)
We at eblizz make it possible for brands to capitalize on SIM – to market, monetize and spread their message through the social communities of their users.
We believe that we live in a world where brands must engage with their customers who have organized themselves in social communities all over the web. We also believe that community users are more than just customers. They have become important as a medium.
eblizz gives this medium tools that help people to connect, engage and share relevant information in real time – everywhere. Through our Drag & Drop technology, SocialSpace and the ShoeBox content will be distributed, synergized and placed in a new way – it will be liberated.
