Zyb-Updates:

From pimp my ZYB - Where the pimps hang out:

Today's release introduced a lot of new features - both visible and invisible ones. Among the invisible ones are support for more phone brands and types, faster synchronization and automatic Flickr account discoverability for contacts. They are significant improvements and deserve a post each, but this time I'll tell you about the new visible features instead.

OpenID

It is now possible to sign in and sign up using OpenID. All existing users can also login using their OpenID and then associate the OpenID with the existing account.  That means you don't lose any contacts or events because everything stays the same, except you can now use OpenID to authenticate yourself.

FriendPlayer

During the last months, our product and design team has been experimenting with different ways of showing what your contacts have been up to. First came the Friendstream, which was a graphical representation of the usual date sorted list of status updates and events. Now, they came up with a Friendplayer, which is very unique and give you a brilliant way of getting the latest updates from your contacts. It looks a bit like a cross between the Friendstream and a video player.

Public API

On zyb.com/feeds you can see a list of all  the different kind of information and formats you need to create mash-ups or third-party integrations. Currently we support 6 different formats and you can retrieve contacts, calendar events, SMS'es and activities on the Life- and FriendPlayer. The formats are RSS, JSON, FOAF, SIOC, VCard and VCalendar.

The information is protected by a special key that only the account owner knows, but is free to distribute. The key can be changed easily, which will render all the old URLs useless.

Hyves social network

We've added support for the Hyves social network, primarily used in the Netherlands. This means that Hypes users can now import thumbnail pictures and other information from their friends on Hyves, and merge them with the contacts on the phone.  Most Sony Ericsson devices support contact thumbnail synchronization, so you get a nice picture displayed on the phone when a friend calls.

Performance improvements

Using YSlow and Fiddler to monitor the network traffic, we have made huge improvements in the website performance. By using the right cache strategies we were able to reduce the amount of data a user needed to download significantly. Also, zyb.com relies heavily on the use of JavaScript and we have worked very hard on optimizing the code for better performance. Performance optimization is still very high on our to-do list the next 1½ month, so expect to see the site getting faster and faster during that period. 

Displaying Your ZYB Data on Your Site

In a previous post I added an example of how you can display your (or someone else's) lifestream data on your iGoogle page. But it's your data and you might actually want to show it on your site. As we write in other posts we are working frantically to give you access to as much of your own data as possible, but for now you can only get your profile data, lifestream and shouts.

The Format is called JSOn on Wikipedia (JavaScript Object Notation).
