We've recoded the inbro SeeInside thumbstream view for landscape views to show off the beautiful double page spreads that publishers often create. We think it's much nicer to look at. Some before/after screenshots below.
We've just upgraded inbro to include Facebook integration.
This means publishers who manage a Facebook Page can easily add all their online documents to their Facebook presence, via a new tab on their Page.
Facebook users can Like and Comment on inbros, and click a cover to read online directly from Facebook. Likes and Comments will appear in users' own Timelines too, helping spread the word.
Once set up, the page is maintenance free - inbro will make sure it is always up to date.

Yesterday we removed the 'cap' on how many inbro Select orders were included in the standard monthly service fee. Previously the fee included 50 orders per month per document, over that cap they were charged extra. That charge is now removed. Unlimited inbro Select is now included in our standard fee.
inbro's donations to environmental protection, due to our membership and commitment to the 1% for the Planet* network have just been mailed.
We donated to the Environmental Justice Foundation and to Sustrans. (Actually we don't regard it as a donation, more an investment. As 1FTP say themselves, "there is no business to be done on a dead planet").
We chose EJF because we agree that "environmental security is a human right", and we think they're trying to get as close to the source of the problems as they possibly can. Benefits flow downstream from that.
We chose Sustrans because they're a UK organisation, as we are, and we wanted a proportion of our donations to be accountably spent in the UK, because we think their projects can benefit the entire community, especially the young growing up in a crowded auto-motived world, and because we love our bikes.
Thank you to our clients, suppliers, staff and partners. You make this possible.
* 1% for the Planet is a network, started by Yves Chouinard the founder of Patagonia, that connects for-profits willing to donate 1% of gross revenues to environmental protection, to non-profits working to improve the environment.
Last week we upgraded inbro to add unlimited linking.
From now on all links you add to PDFs you upload to inbro will automatically be re-published to your readers using inbro Select and inbro SeeInside. You can use this for product specific or e-commerce links, or for simple homepage links. Your inbros will become more useful for your readers and more effective for you.
You can easily add links to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat (see Tools -> Advanced Editing -> Link Tool), or if your PDF production process is automated it may be configured to add links for you too, based on product codes or page copy and titles.
Unlimited linking is a no-charge upgrade to inbro.
At last week's developer conference, Apple announced iPad sales, 14 months after launch, have exceeded 25 million.
We think iPad, and other tablets, bring the home computer from the back bedroom to the living room coffee table, and the importance of the format will continue to grow for consumer brands wishing to connect with their customers. If you have questions about using iPad, or how inbro can help get your brand onto iPad quickly, please get in touch at http://inbro.net/ask/contact/
