Yesterday I covered The Best Addition to YouTube as Voted by You. The most popular recommendation to YouTube, was to better include HTML5. In the four week period over 25,000 people offered close to 3,000 ideas. In all over 300,000 votes shot in; and HTML5 wasn’t the only thing users wanted to see changed. Another area which received much criticism was site layout/formatting issues.

For a four week period YouTube was openly excepting ideas and feed back in their first ever Product Idea Series. The month long voting was put in place to give YouTube users a voice about what works, what doesn’t work, and what features could be added. In all, there was close to 3,000 ideas on YouTube’s Product Idea Series.

Testing is vital in the online world. As new technology surfaces each and every day, it is important for online service/product providers to implement the newest technology as to constantly improve user experience. This is why I’m happy to announce eBay has released a new area on the site called “eBay Garden” that allows users to test and provide feedback on the newest features of eBay.

We talked about changes that will appear on the Amvona Blog this year. You would be pleased to know that this year we aim to focus our approach more on sustainable living practices and add more exclusive news to our Blog. New team members will also be joining us this year. Another important and significant change is that from this week onwards, Greg Lemelson, CEO at Amvona.com & Flekt.com will make regular contributions to the Amvona Blog.

Today we made some more exciting changes to our site. We have added two new features. Now our users can follow us on Digg. And they can also subscribe to our feed through our Feedburner Email system. You must be wondering what this means to our readers?  It is basically our effort to make our news more accessible to our readers. And to open more channels for you to connect to us.

We love your feedback and are very grateful for all the comments, emails and reactions to our blog and our products. The holiday season is fast approaching and we are working very hard to bring you the best of the holiday season - soon we will post holiday guides for shopping online, eco friendly gifts for the holiday season and much more. Keep an eye out for our upcoming posts. Many of our readers have asked us what Amvona.com is and where are we heading? To be very honest we are evolving and are making sure we bring you the best of both worlds (online and offline).

Amvona is an online retailer that 'sells custom designed photo accessories wrapped up in a social context'. You must have seen our "One Deals" on our homepage, the entire concept of the one deal was conceived to create better efficiency in our product cycle and to offer our customers better deals.  The main idea behind Amvona is to provide our customers with the very best of products and to introduce 'you' to the latest news in Technology & New Media. That's where our blog comes in. The Amvona Blog is a platform designed to bring the latest news on the intersection of media creation and technology. We are introducing some new ideas, concepts and categories to our blog this holiday season. Most importantly we are opening our blog to our readers - what this means is, that now you can send us your photographs, stories and articles and we will publish them on the Amvona blog.

I would like to thank all the Amvona readers for their constant support - for reading, commenting, sharing the articles on your Twitter and Facebook and for all the emails.
I have been writing for Amvona for about two weeks now. It has been a fun filled journey; involving drinking lots of coffee, exploring the latest technology and new media news, finding out what's happening in the photography industry, meeting some new and exciting people and enjoying the response from our readers. I have been overwhelmed by your support and love. Thank you! Keep on reading and commenting - we enjoy your feedback :).

We had several inquiries from our readers asking how they can comment on the Amvona blog.  You will be pleased to know that Amvona has introduced a new and easier way of commenting on the Amvona Blog.

I know you're all dying to comment on all the changes, so here we go…
