Twitter OAuth, Video Seeking, User Search, and Faster Servers

It has been a busy week at Magma and we are proud to announce a few new features and improvements.

Twitter OAuth has been added to Magma. You can now safely sync your Twitter account to Magma to allow for automatic tweeting of videos that you add to your channel. We also allow you to disable autotweeting at any time in your accounts settings. Click here to sync or resync your account. (Note: All users that were using autotweet must resync their Twitter account.)

As we continue to improve your online video watching experience, we’ve added video seeking when watching videos on the video archive page. You can now seek via previous and next through the videos within a user’s or system’s channel.

We’ve also added user searching so that you can connect and discover new content from users’ channels. Simply hover over the icon in the search bar to toggle between video and user search.

Along with these features, we’ve spent a good amount of time optimizing our back-end infrastructure and upgrading to newer, faster servers. These changes have already brought about a noticeable increase in speed and performance.

There are also numerous tweaks and changes we’ve completed. If you have suggestions or need to report a problem, please contact us.
