Greetings! We’re very excited to announce that we’ve recently rolled out a brand new release of hy.pr! The new release comes with all new features that will allow you to customize your sharing pages with related content links. Behind the cut, you’ll find a step by step guide to the new features and how to begin adding related content to your hy.pr links.

A quick update for hy.pr users! Hy.pr now allows you the option of selecting your preferred mail application to send hy.pr links to your contacts. Rather than send email through hy.pr’s embedded mailer, you can choose to send email directly from the application you normally use on your computer — Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, etc..

To set up your email preferences, just click the Settings link at the right of the hy.pr sharing page, then click the radio button for the option of your choice.

Or, click the email icon, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the the Option button. You’ll be able to select your local mail application from there!

If you have any questions or need any help, let us know!

The hy.pr tool and our parent company, Smub Inc., received a very nice write-up today on LesEchos.fr! The original article is in French, but you can click the following link for a rough French-to-English translation, via Google: Translated to English.

The hy.pr tool has been updated yet again to serve you better! Here’s what’s new and improved in our latest update:

* Creating multiple hy.pr links just got easier. You can now upload CSV and Excel files directly to your hy.pr account to create new links. To upload a document, click Create Multiple hy.pr Links when logged in to your account.

* hy.pr access is now completely Blackberry compliant.

* You can now customize your publication’s share and save pages even further by uploading your logo to your account. Once uploaded, your logo will appear on every share and save page associated with your hy.pr links. To upload a logo, click on LOGO under the Profile section of you account. You will be able to upload an image directly from your desktop, as well as delete any previously uploaded image.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback regarding changes and updates. Please feel free to contact the hy.pr team should you need anything at all.

You may have noticed a few recent changes to the hy.pr service. We’ve been hard at work updating and modifying hy.pr to serve you better.

You can now add a description to each of the hy.pr links you create.

Any information entered into the description field will appear on the share and save page when a reader shares your link. If you leave this field blank, hy.pr will automatically fetch and display your link’s meta data, if available. If no meta data is available, the description will remain blank.

You can now choose which social networking sites appear on your hy.pr links’ share and save pages.

hy.pr supports sharing to a large number of social networking sites. You may find, however, that your readers are most inclined to share your links with a few specific networks. You can emphasize these networks and reduce visual clutter by choosing which social network icons will appear on your share and save pages. Your selected networks will appear immediately, but your readers will still have access to all the networks hy.pr supports with just a click.

We have many more updates still to come. If there’s anything you think we can do to improve our service, please let us know. We welcome your feedback!
