Es ist soweit! Seit wenigen Stunden ist nun endlich die neue SHOUTcast Seite aktiv und für die ganze Welt freigegeben. Der Relaunch von SHOUTcast.com ist also geglückt.

Zu den Features auf der Seite habe ich ja schon im Post davor was geschrieben. Also hier noch mal ein Zitat von den Entwicklern, was die neue Seite betrifft.

We’ve made improvements and added new features including:

- A new, fresh easy to navigate design – Check out the site’s new design which also includes the ability to “skin” your page to a new color!

- Improved Search Capabilities – Search over 22, 000 stations worldwide by an artist name, song or genre.

- Snag the SHOUTcast Radio Widget for your own site or integrate it into popular social networking sites such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace . To grab the widget for your blog or site, click on this link or the “Copy Me” link below.

- Grab the SHOUTcast Radio toolbar for your browser – Customize your web browser to include easy access to your favorite SHOUTcast Radio stations. For the SHOUTcast Radio toolbar that you can download to work in conjunction with your web browser, click here

For broadcasters, the new site offers the opportunity for better communication with their listeners and promotions of their stations through popular social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace etc. We will be rolling out a slew of improvements to the broadcasting tools so stay tuned right here for more details in the days to come!

In addition to the redesign, we are also announcing that we have created a SHOUTcast widget that can be embedded on any blog or site.

Stay tuned, as we will have more in the coming days and weeks. We are looking for your honest feedback so feel free to post any comments/suggestions below.

Thanks!

Den neuen SHOUTcast Radio Widget könnt ihr euch natürlich auch mal anschauen.

Falls ihr die neue SHOUTcast Radio Toolbar für den Web Browser nutzen wollt, so könnt ihr diese ebenfalls hier begutachten.

Ansonsten verweise ich nun natürlich gerne auf die neue SHOUTcast.com Webseite

Today the new SHOUTcast Radio Widget had been presented. This widget acts as an opportunity to search for radios and to tune in directly, if you embed it in a website.

It is not necessary to use an external player because the widget owns an included Radio Flash Player. Additionally it is possible to embed the widget in three different styles or themes.

The most ingenious part of the tool is, that you can embed it not only in websites. Following you find a list of possibilities, where you can embed the widget:

AIM Profile Pages, MySpace.com, Facebook, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, Free Webs, NetVibes, iGoogle, Live.com, Pageflakes, Blogger.com, Typepad, Adobe Air Desktop, Vista Sidebar, Mac Dashboard und Yahoo Widgets.

That indicates, that this Addon is useful and most of you have the opportunity to embed it
somewhere!

In my opinion, we waited for long to get this opportunity and now many webmasters and private consumers can work with this tool.

Look at this example:
