Our CEO, David Cantu, recently attended the Henry Stewart Digital Asset Management (DAM) conference in LA and met a lot of cool companies and organizations that were excited to hear about our ability to integrate with their Digital Asset Management and Content Management Systems.

Basically, a DAM/CMS can seamlessly integrate our tagging service into their system and quickly provide their customers with the power of high-volume and customized image tagging. We’ve set it up so you can implement it as a whit or black label service - whichever is more applicable to your business.

And most exciting of all Tagcow splits the revenue with you for each image that is tagged through the integrated tagging solution.

We pushed a major release in late March. This release included a system stability upgrade. Ironically, this release also included a devious little bug that messed up our image statuses. This lead many of our customers to believe that their images were “stuck” in the tagging process. This was a very illusive bug. Our engineers worked many hours to resolve this issue and fix the images that were effected.

All is working smoothly again. Thanks for your patience.

Matt Nichols, CTO

This has been an exciting year for us at TagCow already. In March, we released the largest set of new features since our launch in 2008. These improvements include:

• A new customer dashboard
• Improved navigation
• Publicly available API
• System reliability improvements
• The official launch of our Content Filtering product

A recent follow-on release included a major upgrade to our tagging process. This has already started to produce higher quality taggings for our customers.

We have many great new features planned. I’ll follow up with a sneak peak post about some of the features that we have planned for the coming months. Stay tuned!

We recently expanded our Enterprise Tagging Platform to do near real-time content filtering of images, blogs, comments and advertisements. To give you a clear understanding of how this service can be useful I’ve developed a simple use case:

Use Case 1: Allowing for custom display ads

Background: On October 12, 2008 MySpace launched the self-serve advertising platform myAds which allows advertisers to create and run display ads on MySpace’s website. The advertisers can choose between pre-fabricated display ad templates or submit their own custom templates and then target those ads to specific demographics on MySpace. You can read about it in detail on TechCrunch: myAds Overview

Problem: Many companies allow for pre-fabricated templates to be used as the basis for display ads, profile backgrounds and photo album themes, but how can they possibly give millions of users the option to submit their own templates without exposing other users and advertisers to mature or inappropriate content?

Solution: Integrating Tagcow’s content filtering service into the “user generated template” submission and approval process. Once the custom template is submitted it would be pushed to our platform where it could be filtered against our client’s acceptable content guidelines and then returned to the client’s system with a status of approved or rejected.

Potential Users: Online Newspaper Sites, User Generated Art Sites, Photo Sharing Sites, Social Networking & Dating Sites and Online Media Companies implementing user generated content driven marketing campaigns.
