Away 3d features Empressr on their site today. We love Away 3d, we used their very cool technology for the 3d transitions in Empressr. We plan on offering a lot more in the very near future. Take a look at the Empressr created showing a few of their 3d models.

We are excite to be nominated (ha, and I didn’t even do i) as a finalist for the Webware 100. For all of our fans, I would love if you would give us your vote. Muchos Gracias and we’ll see you in Miami this weekend at fowa.

As the fowa looms a few days away, Empressr is looking for a few more votes on webappcharts.com so if you use Empressr, and want to help get us higher in the list, please give us a vote.

It’s a crappy Youtube (when are they going to allow good quality?) post but you get the idea. (also posted to my DotMac account, much nicer quality)

Cool, Empressr on the MTV 44.5 HD Billboard!

We decided to move the blog off blogger and have our own Wordpress, so this is the new blog. I like the flexibility of Wordpress over blogger.

It has been re-imagined!We know there will be a lot of questions, and yes some bugs and we encourage all comments and questions.

You may still edit them using v.2.A few known issues to be aware of:

• Linking to content outside of our domain,(such as flickr, etc) is not fully implemented, we will have that working tomorrow. 
• Some of the styles that you set are not being retained, this is at the top of the list to fix.

That’s the big ones, and we should have most of these taken care of in the next few days.Have fun and remember, this is a Public Beta!Bryan
