You Voted us Kings
So, let’s have a quick summary on what happened since NTK was officially launched (9½ week ago but who’s counting).
1- There are just about 33,400 results in Google mentioning NTK, including some heavy caliber tech blogs
2- 36,000 users downloaded it (that’s ~540 each day, and growing)
3- NTK is ranked #6 in Mozilla’s favorites under tabs section
4- Lebron went on an early vacation. again. god.
but now for the important stuff – what the people had to say:
A lot of Linux freaks, freaked out on us for be incompat. well, we got this fixed with a little help from a volunteering user. cheers, amigo.
Same goes for Mac. now we’re Mac oriented.
Almost all comments (not complaints – comments) included the expression “customize my own”. Here’s a real giant NTK leap: almost everything in your NewTabKing dashboard is customizable. You can choose your background image (or choose not to have one at all). You can pick your own application shortcuts. You can select the number of results that you get in your “Most Used Website” and in “Recently Closed Tabs”. View your “black listed” sites, and hand-pick some of them back to life. You can even set your own title. My title says something nasty about a huge company that starts with a “G” but that’s just my secret revenge.
Plus, we’ve added some other neat stuff, like:
Suggested sites – lets you see sites that are similar to the ones you’re usually visiting. Hey, perhaps you’ll find hidden treasures in the suggested sites list.
Auto-completion in your search bar – You know FireFox? same idea. only bigger.
Shorter loading time – No, I’m saying this for REAL. Try it yourself.
So where are all these improvements? Good question. We are waiting for the Mozilla testing crew to approve our new version 2, which is currently only available in their testing queue
Truth is, we didn’t think it would take that long… but guess what – you can help! If you download, try it, and post a comment in our mozilla add-ons section, they say it quickens the process. Well, if you feel like it. no pressure.
We’ve gone a few miles since the April 9th release, but as far as we’re concerned the journey has just begun. We hope NewTabKing will become the best interface for new born tabs around the globe.
