Imagine a product that takes evolves with ideas from thousands of minds - the result is a near perfect product that works flawlessly. Asking users what they want is far more effective than brainstroming sessions in swanky conference halls with little end-user participation. At Toufee, we believe in keeping things simple and what better way to give users what features they want than to directly ask them? So if you think there’s something you wish to see in Toufee you can directly post your suggestions at www.toufee.com/wiki

Posting suggestions at Toufee Wiki requires that you create a user account and creating an account takes less than a minute. Also, its better this way because each one of us can know who posted what.

I’ve already created a base list of sugggestions or features requests to start with and you can easily and quickly work on those to add your own suggestions. If for any reason you find trouble adding your ideas to Toufee Wiki, you can email them to me at ganesh@toufee.com and I would post onto the Wiki on your behalf.

Thanks

If you are an internet marketer (selling products over the web) then using flash movies created with Toufee would supercharge your marketing efforts many fold. YouTube is a great place to start your internet marketing efforts and for that you need a movie that talks about your product or service. Well, Toufee helps you to easily create flash movies for YouTube, and with the new Toufee 2.0 version, you can directly post your flash movies to YouTube. With flash movies of your product or services in YouTube you can instantly reach a huge target audience. Without Toufee flash movies, imagine creating movies for YouTube - you need to use a whole bunch of tools from PowerPoint to video editing softwares to finish a single movie. Also, with Toufee’s advanced text-to-speech features, you no longer need to spend extra effort to record supporting voices for your movies.

Besides YouTube, there are a number of ways in which you can reach target audience - forums, popular blogs etc. But again, you would face the problem of hundreds or thousands of fellow marketers posting messages onto these forums. So how do you stand out? Instead of text messages, you can use the power of flash movies to effectively deliver your message. You can use a combination of Text, videos (using videos you can deliver product demos, walkthroughs, etc.,) and sound to effectively connect with your target audience. Also, Toufee 2.0 version comes with new and better features that can enhance internet marketing with Toufee flash movies.

Not only does Toufee offer a one-stop solution for internet marketers to create flash movies, it also proves a far better alternative to connect with target audiences in an effective way. Try using Toufee flash movies in your marketing campaigns and you will be amazed with the results.

Till next time

The idea of a discussion platform, something like a flash movie forum for Toufee is something that I have touched upon in quite a few of my old posts. But I seriously think I should address this in more detail and so I write this post.

I was reading this article on a local daily on how Dell started a seperate blog where consumers can suggest what Dell should do; as a result Dell has started selling Linux and that turned out to be quite profitable! You might wonder what connection does it have with Toufee? Well, what we see from the Dell story is that the underlying principle is let the consumers tell us what they want instead. Though we’ve developed Toufee, there are certainly thousands of Toufee users who have used the flash movie maker in ways we couldn’t have imagined and in ways so creative that it made us wonder what one could achieve from this online flash movie maker. That leaves me to think of ways in streamlining the experience of users working with Toufee. A forum is a great way to start, but the team at Toufee is a bit busy with the launch of the new version. So what better option? WIKI! If you know what a Wiki is, you would know what I am going to mean. A wiki site allows anyone to easily create, edit and update a site’s content. The information on a wiki site is always current and everyone can track what others did.

Btw, Toufee already has a fully-functional WIKI site which you can access at the following link http://www.toufee.com/wiki
That’s all that you need to get started to share your views, flash movie making tips, flash movie experiences, general tips on Toufee or whatever there is related to Flash!

Come on people, let’s share what we know and make flash movie making with Toufee better!
