Announcing new Transferr features!

The new version of Transferr is all about sharing. In the past Transferr could share icons

between people using email. Soon Transferr will get sharing right, because there will be a new way to share your favourites: in tabs!

Transferr.com lets users share a whole tab of icons with others by creating a public (uneditable) page with a unique, permalinked and shortened URL. This is great for sharing through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. You can copy and share the link and anyone with that permalinked URL can view your shared icons. This is useful for group collaboration, teaching and web-publishing.

We've even included the popular AddThis button to make sharing the shared tab super easy.

Above: a screenshot of the new shared tabs feature.

Great news! Find Transferr on the AddThis button

Transferr has just been added to the AddThis button, a free button for any website that allows people to share or bookmark the page the button is located on with a number of different social networks and bookmarking sites.... including Transferr!

This is big news for us because the AddThis button has a global audience of over 500 million people, many of whom will see the Transferr brand and may join the service.

When you see the AddThis button on any webpage and click it you will see a couple of your most used or most popular services, click 'More...' and you will be able to view a whole list of web services in alphabetical order:

Clicking the Transferr icon will then redirect you to Transferr.com, where an icon for the site you used the AddThis button on will be waiting for you (still warm like freshly baked pie). The great thing is that once you use Transferr on the AddThis button, you don't have to find it in the list again - the AddThis button learns your favourite services and places them at the top:

Now go use it. Try it out at AddThis.com

Thanks AddThis!

Welcome new users!

A big welcome to our Portuguese and Brazillian visitors, we hope you enjoy Transferr.

Because we don't speak any Portuguese, we are organising a translator so that we can answer your questions in Portuguese!

Unexpected Server Troubles

Icon creation services will be unavailable for the next few hours (possibly longer) while our main transferr server has a bad attitude. As we coerce it back into behaving, users may briefly not be able to view the website. We'll let you know when it's all good again.

Epic downtime today

We apologise for the extended period of downtime today, a server error occurred and we are working through the various problems currently. However, Transferr should be running at full capacity now.

Sorry for any delays or inconveniences you may have experienced.

This is a prime opportunity to plug our need for donations - unfortunately we run on a very tight budget and issues like these aren't always easy to fix. If you use Transferr often we would love for you to support us and keep the service running. If you would like to donate, just visit transferr.com/donate.php.

Apologies: temporary unavailability of Transferr today

We apologise for any inconvenience you may have experienced today [August 9, AEST]. Unfortunately our ISP (Internet Service Provider) went down for about an hour, so we were completely cut off from the internet until the problem was resolved.

Everything is well now!
