How old is this bot? (seems new)
Version 1.0 was released 12th June
What makes you're bot different?
Hard to say really, I haven't used the other tumblr bots. All the main features are there - reblogging / posting / liking / account creation / update accounts etc etc
What makes it different, probably the more specialist features which are not found in the other bots (according to their home pages - which if they are anything like me, may not be uptodate and they do have these features but...)
From the top of my head
* automated image scraper and uploader for pinterest, tumblr blogs, tumblr search). Set up a routine and then you can scrape images from another tumblr blog and post them to your blog (new images only)
*syndicate your posts to a wordpress site / blogger. Before you post your image / content to tumblr, it is posted to WP / Blogger. Then the link to the post can be inserted into your tumblr.
* Different image settings for syndicated and tumblr posts. So post a smaller size / lower quality to tumblr, then include a link "click here for full size / quality image". Get the user to your money site quicker. Where the clickthru is the syndicated WP / blogger post. Better than just using a description "goto xyz.com for more)
* Watch folder for image upload. Any images added to a particular folder can be uploaded automatically
* RSS content upload - enter a RSS feed, and the content can be posted automatically to your blog (duplicate posting or new content only setting)
* RSS video upload - enter a youtube channel feed, and the videos will be posted to your tumblr automatically (duplicate posting or new content only setting)
* ask and ask anon - including scraper to validate if blogs allow ask functionality
* check for available account names (if you have a list of expired domains, find out which PR ranked domains for tumblr are ready to register
* lastly, about 10% of the cost of a comparable tumblr bot
Do you offer upgrades, when tumblr updates their system?
Yes one time purchase, life time of bot updates
Is you're bot fully functional? Are their any current problems with you're bot?
To my knowledge yes. The accounts process is being reworked. The same problem that besieges other bots is Tumblr are damn good at bot signup detections. The program uses http requests (not a ubot / browser bot etc), am currently writing a browser module to see if the success rate can be improved.
Why, don't you have a listing for this bot on BHW forum? (seems like you're missing out on $ and reviews from people who, would legitimately use and recommend it)
I released the program quietly and cheaply. Got a few sales (which is all I wanted). These users then helped identify bugs, made some feature suggestions to improve the program. Once I was happy the majority of the bugs were found, I was going to promote it more. But just never got round to it yet. I am a programmer not a marketer. The marketing / sales copy side of things I do not enjoy, so I tend to put it off in preference to coding / adding features. It is on my list of things todo, but so is another million things. I don't really want to make a sales thread and get loads of sales and then have to deal with loads of support saying "how do I this".. I don't really like making documentation either, nor am I am expert video tutorial maker lol (as you must be aware if have seen the videos...)
Like the OP, I haven't found any data on this software either since I found it "anywhere other then you're site, this post and videos on YT" and not a single review from someone that has used it. Would you please enlighten Us "Rootjazz".
I just don't want something that stops functioning or didn't because the maker decided it wasn't worth their effort any longer "not saying you would" but I've seen it several times and sadly I've been burned and had to start over from scratch.
Not much I can say there other than: the program is maintained, bugs are fixed and any tumblr changes are handled (for instance updated to include the new search routines last week).
But I won't lie (and this is true for all software vendors whether they state it or not), if there are no continual sales, I won't be maintaining the program for the next 5 years at my expense. Sales trickle in at the moment for this program, which is enough for me to maintain it
Any data on it's current functionality would be really appreciated, past, present issues, etc? I know why, I want to get it. I just want to know if it works like the maker says on his site.
For past bugs you can check the forum rootjazz.com/forum
I try and tell everyone to use the forum, but everyone just emails me support so there isn't much there at the moment.
As you've made this thread, I will try and float the "make a BST thread for tumblingjazz" to the top of my todo list for early next week
