On February 28 a select group of testers will begin testing the Alpha release of VisioList 0.0.1.

Development will continue as many features have not been included in this first release. The philosophy with VisioList development is too release early, and release often. This enables our user base to be a part of the development process with suggestions and ideas to help VisioList reach its maximum potential.

Some exciting new features that are already in place for v 0.0.1

VisioList Screenshot API - This service allows our customers to connect to our special screenshot generation API, screenshots of all your members sites are copied locally to your topsite server for maximum performance and control.

Facebook Integration - Deep facebook integration all configurable through the admin panel. New sites joining you topsite will be automatically posted to your facebook wall. Facebook Social comments on each members stats page, the facebook "like" button. In future release, members will be able to login to their user control panel with Facebook login.

Twitter Integration - When a site joins your topsite, VisioList will auto tweet about them and post a link to your stats page.

New user control panel - A new user control panel that makes it fun to fill out your profile. Members can upload banners, and fill out additional information to enhance their listings!

Premium Membership - Now members can purchase a Premium Membership on your list via paypal. You set the price per week, and the discount. Once payment is made and approved, the user will get a unique, "eye popping" listing with the option of a bigger banner and virtually anything else you can think of.

Manage Members - the updated admin interface allows you to manage your members easier than ever. Simply start typing any members username, title or description into the search box and with the power of AJAX the members list is filtered down to the relevant matches

Spam Prevention - Topsite spam has long been the most frustrating part of hosting your own topsite. VisioList has implemented several great spam prevention techniques, including keyword filters, shared blacklists, and several human verification options.

Disqus - A popular 3rd party service for managing user comments and discussion is now available for easy integration via the plugin system. With just one upload, your members stats pages will be graced with Disqus!

RSS Importer - Have your members submit their RSS feed in their profile, this content will then be cached each hour and written into your member stats page.

Clean URL's with mod_rewrite - out of the box, visiolist is ready with urls like: yourtopsite.com/sites/username

There of course many other small new features, and many more planned for future versions.

Because VisioList is a fork of Aardvark topsites we have a smooth upgrade path for those looking to upgrade, and we also offer professional upgrade service to those who prefer not deal with any coding.
