Sounds like a geek title hey! We’ve been working for a while on the Version 2.0 of Spongercity.com and here you go. Small changes in appearence but massive re-design and coding was involved this time. As a result:
- the RSS feed URL adress for News changed, so make sure you delete the old one you had and bookmark the new one: NEW RSS FEED adress
- the RSS feed adress for Comments also changed: NEW RSS FEED adress
- If you downloaded the Spongercity Widget (Mac OS X users), make sure to download and install the updated version of the Spongercity Widget, otherwise the News Titles wont work anymore in the previous version of the Widget.

Spongercity launches the Boogie Widget

We first launched the RSS News Feed, then the Podcast and now we just developped a Widget for Mac users. The Spongercity Widget is the first of its kind in the boogie world and is even better than the RSS News feed if you’ve got a Mac computer. It’s gonna show you the 20 latest Spongercity News headlines on your Dashboard, all News headlines are clickable and you’ll be able to read the full articles on the spongercity blog or website once you’ve clicked them.

How it works ? How do you install it ?

  • First, you click here: download the widget for Mac
  • Then, you double-click on the SpongercityWidget.zip that you just downloaded
  • And now you double-click on the spongercity widget icon that popped out of the zipped file. Just follow what your Mac computer says and enjoy the Widget on your dashboard!

Sorry PC users, this wonderful Widget only works for Mac users…

Spongercity launches the Spongercity Podcast

Yep. We first launched RSS News Feeds and now we launch the Spongercity Video Podcast. “What the fuck is this?” you’re gonna ask. Well, the Spongercity Podcast will allow you to watch clips, videos and movie teasers not only on your computer but also on your iPod (or PSP). You can subscribe to the Podcast right now and you’ll get all clips, teasers and stuff directly on your iTunes. And it works! Bling Bling. If you wanna get regular updates on all clips, teasers etc. you can also subscribe to the RSS Video Feed and you’ll be able to see directly on your internet browser if there are new clips available. It’s basically the same thing as the Podcast on iTunes but on your internet browser (100% Firefox or Safari compatible). Too easy.
Of course if none of this new Hi-Tech shit works for you and if you’re a iPod and iTunes hater, then you can simply watch the clips and teasers online (and even download them) directly from our Media page. It’s up to you my friends. Embrace the new technology or roll with the old fashion thingy, both ways are fine on Spongercity!
Check our new and improved Media section to learn more about the new Podcast / RSS video Feed and watch the clips available.
There’s 4 Teasers available on the Podcast right now and more vids will be added soon. All other vids are available on the Media section for the moment.
