Over the last few recent product releases, we've introduced a wide variety of brand new themes and templates that Slickstream subscribers can use to enhance the look and feel of their sites. These range from larger, photo-oriented cards to simple text-only lists, and can be fully configured in the customer portal. Read on for more details.
Today we're pleased to announce another batch of updates for both the Engagement Suite and Slickstream for Business. In this upgrade we've added a whole new way to search, improved the way we handle CLS, and introduced several new search result options for publishers. Read on for more:
The latest Slickstream release has added new integrations for both the Engagement Suite and Slickstream for Business. It is officially live across all sites today, and as always is applied automatically and free of charge for all users.
Slickstream's recent update includes a major upgrade to search. This was more than a year in the making and incorporates some big concepts. One of those concepts is "two-dimensional search" (or "2D"). The other is "progressive search". I'm going to explain those to you below.
Slickstream stories are getting added to a lot of our customers' websites. We've been asked an important question frequently: Why should I add stories to my website?
Slickstream has been updated for all customers today. These changes should have no effect on existing customers -- at least until they choose to take advantage of these new capabilities.
Since Slickstream went live a year ago, we've been growing quickly. Last October we managed a handful of websites, indexed a few thousand webpages daily, and processed a few hundred gigabytes of traffic per month. Now we are handling more than 600 websites, indexing more than half a million webpages in real-time, and over the past month have processed more than 30 terabytes of traffic.
If you use advertising on your site to generate revenue, then you may have heard horror stories about what will happen when Google starts to block third-party cookies on Chrome -- currently slated for sometime in 2022.
Slickstream is being updated starting today for some sites, rolling out to others within the next few days.
We're in the process of updating all sites with our latest release.
As usual, if you haven't already seen these changes, you should be seeing them sometime in the next few days as we roll them out to all sites.
