So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Dear fans
The time has come to take our final bow.
Our time together was short and sweet – we achieved a lot in six months, and we'll be forever thankful to our friends, supporters and partners.
We will keep Vinepeek (aka Vpeeker) alive as a memento to PXi Ventures.
Thank you for all the shout-outs and goodwill. Catch you in the Silicon Roundabout!
Pete, Xen and David
Vinepeek is now Vpeeker
We have made the decision to rename Vinepeek to Vpeeker and make existing Vpeeker Channels accounts free.
We have also suspended new account creation on Vpeeker Channels. In the short term this means that we are no longer accepting new customers. In the long term we will honour existing customer subscriptions and all corporate support accounts.
Additionally, we have open-sourced the code that powers both Vpeeker and Vpeeker Channels, and we will continue to support the open source community if anyone decides to re-use what we have shared.
We have released it under an MIT license, probably the most flexible and sensible license there is.
Vpeeker will remain online and be available at vpeeker.com. This is to comply with a trademark conflict request from Twitter who operate Vine. All functionality will remain and vinepeek.com will temporarily redirect to the new URL.
Additionally, PXi Ventures (the company behind Vpeeker) is undergoing some (amicable) structural changes making it difficult for Vpeeker Channels to receive the attention a pay-for product deserves.
The simplest and most responsible way to deal with the transition is to cease taking money and provide the tools for anyone to replicate the functionality themselves.
Finally, thank you for using Vinepeek Channels. We had a lot of fun building it and seeing what people did with it!
New features on Rivered
A couple of weeks ago we launched Rivered, our vision of an RSS reader for the Twitter generation. We've had some great feedback since launch and have already added some new features we think you'll like:
Keyboard shortcuts
Power users love keyboard shortcuts, and we love power users! We've now added some simple keyboard shortcuts to Rivered to help you navigate through your River of News. Press '?' at any time to see what they are.
iOS icons
We're big fans of adaptive design and the mobile web at PXi, so right now we're focusing on making sure Rivered works great as it is on iPhone and iPad. If you add Rivered to your home screen via the bookmark button at the bottom of Safari, it will now have a nice Rivered logo for an icon.
We have purposefully chosen not to set Rivered to be a full 'iOS web app' because Apple's support for this functionality is frankly awful. Mainly, apps cannot be 'backgrounded' which means every time you switch out to view an article and come back to Rivered the page is reloaded and you lose your place in your River.
Evernote support
We've got lots more third party integration support on its way, but for now we've enabled the ability to 'clip' articles to your Evernote notebook (a specific request from a user).
Quick-add feeds
You can now quickly subscribe to new feeds from your River via the Quick Add link in the navigation bar. I find myself using this to add any blog I come across with an interesting article. Because Rivered is a 'river' I don't need to worry about managing my growing list of feeds and if I think the blog is particularly good I just mark it as 'special' in Manage Subscriptions so I never miss out.
Better subscription management
Our initial user interface for managing feeds wasn't that great. Now it's a lot more streamlined and paginated, and you can delete a large number of feeds in one go without the page reloading all the time.
Lots of updates in a very short space of time. And there's plenty more on the way. If you haven't checked out Rivered yet you definitely should. And do get in touch and let us know what you think! If you have a particular feature you think we should implement let us know, and perhaps it'll end up in another blog post like this!
Rivered - An uncluttered River of News
Today we have launched a new product: Rivered. Rivered is an RSS reader that focuses on doing one thing right: Letting you interact with content you're interested in.
Why have we built Rivered?
Rivered is different from most RSS readers and does a lot of things differently:
Rivered displays content in a River of News. This is an infinite scrolling stream of content you are subscribed to with the most recent content at the top. There are no unread article counts, you can just read as much or as little as you want. Rivered doesn't want you to organise potential content with tags or folders, we think it's much easier to just scroll through headlines to spot interesting content.
Rivered tells you when you've reached content you've seen before, so you can still catch up completely if you want to.
Rivered is a subscription service. It costs just $2/month (less than a cup of coffee!). This is our assurance to you that we will put you first, not others (like advertisers). Your investment in Rivered ensures continued development on new features you want and we want.
We know that people have favourite services for sharing and saving content. We don't want to force you to share content how we think you should, or 'star' content to save it. You can use the 3rd party services you love, and we keep ones you don't use out of the way.
A river of news is great but sometimes you have websites and people that produce content you don't want to miss out on. With Rivered you can mark feeds as 'special' which ensures that new content from those feeds will appear first in your river.
Rivered is in its early stages right now. We're using it, and we hope you'll use it too and let us know what you think and what you feel it needs to improve it. We built Rivered in less than a week, think what we can do with some more time and your support and feedback.
Tagstar for Android - Get it now
Are you an Instagram user? Do you have an Android phone? Love competing against strangers and friends?
Well we are - so today we whipped together an Android version of Tagstar for the users who have been playing and winning.
What does Tagstar for Android do:
Quick access to the current leaderboards for Tagstar competitions
Push notifications when new competition topics are announced
Easy access to a full mobile interface for commenting on, following and liking other Tagstar champs!
We love your feedback - keep it coming...! Hey - if you like it enough - we may even have an IOS version out soon if you want? :)
PS: Tagstar for Android is still in Beta - so be gentle.
Tagstar for Android
Hi. I wanted to subscribe to vinepeak channel. then embed one of the videos into my tublr blog. is that [possible?I'm trying to make short film then embed it to dedicated tumblog to promote the idea. can i do that?
You can embed both Vinepeek Channels and single Vine videos on your website (though I am unfamiliar with Tumblr’s restrictions on what you can and cannot post on your blog, so you might need to check with them too regarding including snippets of HTML in a post).
A Vinepeek Channel would be suitable if you wanted to embed a set of videos on your blog, as it would play one after the other (in a random order). Here’s an example. If you just want to embed a single Vine video you don’t need a Vinepeek Channel: Vine let you do that.
Does that help answer your question?

3 awesome and creative things to do with Vinepeek
Hey peekers!
We've been really amazed at the response to Vinepeek Channels since launching it 3 weeks ago, and are continuously surprised at the innovative and creative ways that people are using it.
One of the main features of Vinepeek Channels is the ability to embed a channel into your own website and so far it's been used for events, parties and travel blogs.
Here are our top 3 favourite (and most creative) uses of Vinepeek so far:
1. Oxmo Puccino
Oxmo Puccino, the Mali-born French rapper, is using Vinepeek in a social media competition for fans to win VIP tickets and merchandise.
From Stephané Kouchian at TEAMS, an innovative digital agency in the music biz:
We made the website for Oxmo. Oxmo is an awarded french rapper. The campaign is a creative contest through Vine, instagram, Twitter, involving fans who can contribute by posting text, photos or a videos using the hashtag #oxmoparispaname in order to celebrate Paris.
Take a look - and if you'd like to win tickets to an Omxo gig then hashtag your next Vine, Tweet or Instagram with #OxmoParisPaname.
2. BMC and ServiceSphere at Pink13
Chris Dancy from ServiceSphere can personally take credit for the genesis of Vinepeek Channels.
Chris got it touch shortly after the launch of Vinepeek to say that he'd love a version of Vinepeek for the Pink13 ITSM conference he was attending on behalf of BMC Software.
Yay! We had our first customer, but the timescales were really short.
We first spoke with Chris about his requirements on 7 Feb and Pink13 started in Vegas on 16 Feb, giving us just 9 days to get the first version out and tested. Eek!
Because Vinepeek Channels was such a big departure from Vinepeek (despite its simple look, there's a lot going on under the hood) we kept the original look and feel and just focused on the channel.
We're really chuffed with how our first customer page looked, and Chris was too, saying:
I am so very proud of PXi and their team for creating something so revolutionary, and I very proud to be customer #1.
We're proud to be associated with Chris and ServiceSphere and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship. Chris's mantra is particularly apt for us and all tech businesses:
You're in IT, act like it.
3. RVSX
Philip Campbell created a Vinepeek Channel for his RV trip to SXSW '13.
Phil and a group of filmmakers and writers took an RV all the way from Chicago to Austin - taking Vines of their progress, travels and exploits along the way.
We love the concept of RXSW, particularly the Gonzo style of filmmaking that the combination of Vine & Vinepeek generates.
So there you have it! And remember, if you want to Vinepeek your own adventure then sign up here for a channel with a 30 day free trial.

PXi Ventures co-founder
Hello world, Tagstar.
Today we welcome our latest PXi product to the world: hello Tagstar!
Tagstar is a fun new game to play using your Instagram photos. Tag your shots with the daily hashtags and race your friends and foes to the top of the leaderboard by getting as many likes and comments as you can.
Each of your photos has a StarScore - based on our highly developed secret algorithm - which makes sure everyone has a fair chance of winning a competition.
So just because you're Justin Bieber with millions of followers it doesn't necessarily mean you will be the best picture for the day (sorry Justin!)
Playing is simple:
Login to Tagstar with your Instagram username
See the current topics
Tag your photos with the hashtags
Race to the top of the leaderboard and win prizes, and new followers! :)
We have a lot of ideas for Tagstar and it will be changing over the next few weeks - but we hope you have fun competing against your friends now!
Game on.
One final thing: it's still in beta so be gentle! Please let us know what you think.
kthxbai!
Your friends at PXi Ventures
Welcome to Tagstar! Now launched :) Have fun

PXi Ventures is hiring a CEO for Vinepeek
Vinepeek has had astounding growth since we launched it just over seven weeks ago.
From our little Friday project it's hit several major milestones, including a half a million unique users, a million pageviews and almost 20 million Vines served. Some of our most loyal fan base are spending hours on Vinepeek every day.
After launch we were contacted by companies far and wide, many interested in their own version of Vinepeek - and so was born Vinepeek Channels.
Less than 3 weeks running and Vinepeek Channels has a growing, and paying, subscriber base - using Vinepeek in innovative ways we never thought of.
But now the time has come for Vinepeek to leave the PXi nest - so that PXi can focus on incubating our other products.
We are looking for a person to run Vinepeek and Vinepeek Channels as a spin-off and take the product to new heights. We have a lot of ideas for Vinepeek and will continue investing in it, but need someone who has the drive, entrepreneurial skill and startup instinct to lead the product and the team to its next level.
Ideal candidates will:
Have a keen self-starter mentality,
Be a proven, serial entrepreneur - willing to run all aspects of Vinepeek (product development, sales, marketing, etc),
Be able to give full attention to Vinepeek's success and motivate for investment from our PXi incubation team,
Ideally be based in London, UK.
Graduates and interns welcome who want to get their hands on their first startup. It's not everyday someone hands you an existing, profitable business to run :)
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Oh - by the way: we are also hiring some exceptional developers as well (check here)
Become a PXi developer
The PXi team is growing!
We are looking for great developers to join our team. You'll work on fun projects like Vinepeek, Tagstar (and many others).

How to apply?
You're smart, I am sure you can figure it out. Send your CV (and anything else you might think will impress us) to an email address which will be shown if you activate the Konami code on www.pxi.io
Paid for Internships?

Announcing Vinepeek Channels
Hey Peekers!
We had so many people contact us to get their own version of Vinepeek for their event, party, to embed into their website or just to have some plain fun with. So decided to create Vinepeek Channels!
The first major Tech event to use Vinepeek to give a mesmerising peek into the minds of their participants, was Pink13. We had great feedback - and we are now ready to unleash it to a wider audience.
Its currently in free beta - grab it now:
http://channels.vinepeek.com/sign-up
After you get your own channel going - we'd love to hear about how you used it in your own blog, site or event. We'll feature the best uses of Vinepeek Channels here!
Have fun! :)
p.s. we've added mute and fullscreen capabilities to Vinepeek too :)
Happy Valentine
From us to you!
Happy Valentine - enjoying peeking on how others do Valentine.

Is there a way to mute vine videos on vinepeek?
Soon. Stay tuned :)
A peek into Peekers
It's easy for people to assume which kind of people love peeking into the minds of others. We were surprised to see its mostly males and mostly 25-34!!
Keep peeking :)
It seems that after 4 or 5 videos, the player is getting stuck on a single video and repeating it over and over. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
Its a problem whereby we run out of Vines from Twitter's feeds. We are working on a fix for it. Thanks for contacting!
