A funny list from my point of view: look at position 9 – studivz or “studiverzeichnis”

It’s one of europe’s fastest growing social web communities and my employer since November 2006 – and it lost against tiny Amberjack, David against Goliath Happy New Year!

Amberjack says “thank you” to Stefano!

Webmasters that already have integrated Amberjack with their site, should update their Amberjack code like this:

Edit the wizard code you have pasted into you page’s HTML and change:

<script type="text/javascript">
// ...
Amberjack.open();
</script>

to

<script type="text/javascript" defer="true">
// ...
Amberjack.open();
</script>

You just need to add a “defer” attribute to the “script” tag. I have updated the Tour Wizard to add the defer tag automatically, so for newly created tours, there is no need for modification.

For more technical information, here are some resources that helped me spot the problem:

Ajaxian was the first to review Amberjack on Wednesday, followed by listings on the homepages of Delicious on Thursday, Digg and Techcrunch on Friday. It seems as if Digg clearly won the race:

See what happens when you get Digged and Techcrunched on the same (Fri-)day (blue=visits, orange=pageviews):

It was great fun to watch the log files tailed in putty The heat is over and now the first users have contributing their tours. If you have also put a cool Amberjack tour online, please let me know.

1. Amberjack is LGPL licensed now!
2. I have added some options to the Tour Wizard. You can now adjust how the close button behaves, if your page should be covered, what happens when a user clicks on the transparent cover:
3. And for PROs who want to customize everything:
4. I have added some documentation on how Amberjack works into the uncompressed source file: http://amberjack.org/src/stable/amberjack.js

Some others suggested a highlighting functionality. I am thinking about a way to properly support that, without bloating the framework too much. While you can already do that by your self now, by putting functionality into the additional JavaScript file you can specify, it’s true that this is something that a tour framework should provide out-of-the-box.

I was thinking about a way to allow creation of Amberjack Plugins, that could be shared among the community. If you understand how Amberjack works and if you have a suggestion, please let me know. My time is currently restricted to the weekends, so I would welcome some help.
