The new service is to be added to the eBay channel available today on Philips Net TV.

Ever looked on eBay for something, could not find anything and then thinking why is there no option to save your search and to automatically receive a notification when the article becomes available? Well, AuctionFlunky does just that. AuctionFlunky is a web based service which enables a user to save a search item for eBay and once the item becomes available on eBay, a notification will be sent to the user so that the user can start to bid for it. This functionality provides an improved customer experience and ensures that a user never misses a new article.

“We are extremely excited about this technology acquisition and will soon enhance our TV based eBay experience with this new service” says Dick Schiferli, CEO of PamConsult.

PamConsult plan to include this function as part of the Jaast “eBay on TV” offering, currently available on Philips Net TV enabled TV sets. When using eBay on a TV, the normal PC environment is not available (it is not so easy to switch back and forth between the eBay channel on the TV and the programs to search for items). Thus the new functionality will make searching on eBay much more pleasant, simpler and effective.

During the transition, the AuctionFlunky website and internet service will not be available to new customers.

If you are affected by this issue, please go to www.pamfax.com (yes, we now operate from a .com domain) and re-download the installer for PamFax and run it. This will then update the scanner driver to a non nagging version.

Note that the update is not automatically pushed to everyone.

The promotion started on March 1st. The PamFax ads will be present on their Skype Business pages and also in the partner tab of the PC Home version of the Skype application.

The team has updated the websites of PamFax and Pamela with some Christmas dressing. The holiday season is approaching fast, so here you go. I hope you like the updated header and footer (scroll down the page!).

This new design fits into our CI that we are applying to all our websites. We hope that every user feels “like home” and knows how to use it when he gets to one of our websites when they all look similar and all navigation elements are at the same place.

After the first scan of the PamFax website we were able to add the McAfee logo to the PamFax website.

Today we added the logo to our PamFax website at www.pamfax.biz and on Monday latest the Pamela website at www.pamela.biz will also show the logo (the scans have been completed and nothing major was found – but hey it’s Friday).

The good news is that both our sites showed no major security flaws which could have impacted the users privacy.

If you want to update, open the main Pamela window and click on “Help” and “Check for new version”. Alternatively you can visit the website and download. Make sure you download the same version as you have.

This update includes the following changes:
- Improved performance
- Fixed file upload for multiple files
- Added dashboard page in portal
- Improved website
- Optimized transmission reports
- Added “only send notification if an error occurs” setting to notification options
- Fixed relogin issue after sending a fax from Portal
- Group notification checked by default if more then one recipient
- Startup hint “unsent faxes” shows count of faxes, not recipients
- Improved “set password” dialog on first start
- “sent” time is only shown when fax was sent, not while it’s processed
- Improved Facebook and Salesforce.com plugin. i.e. now also show faxes from inbox

There are many minor changes and bugfixes included in this update “under the hood” which just improve PamFax in many small areas. I.e. it is now easier to find information on the website about the rates, the Salesforce.com and Facebook plugins are much better now and the PamFax application is much faster now.

I want to emphasis one new feature that this update brings: the new dashboard page in the portal. Whenever you open your PamFax Portal now, you will see the new dashboard page:

On the dashboard page, you will get a very nice overview over your settings (like PamFax username, language, currency, date format, personal fax number, …) and your latest faxes (sent and received) and you are also able to change all these settings very easily by direct links into the settings of the application. Many of you have been asking for a one page overview of your account and settings – so here you go.

As this is an update on the server side there is no need for you to re-download the PamFax application. Just start PamFax and you will be using the new features!

What do you think? What needs to be added to the dashboard page? Comments welcome!
