Share Phulki…

Are you one of those people who enjoy sharing things on the internet? Do you enjoy writing blogs or tweeting? Do you spend a lot of time on social networks connecting and sharing stuff with your friends? If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, you are going to be thrilled to hear about some new functionality that we have added to Phulki. Phulki now enables you to share the beautiful songs that you discover, with your friends!

For casual listeners, we have added a green sharing icon  next to each song/playlist. This allows you to share the song/playlist in one of a few hundred ways, including email and posting directly to your blogs, social networks and even twitter. (In order to post automatically to these sites, it is imperative that we ask you for your username and password. We know that this is very confidential and hence we have adopted a fire-and-forget policy i.e. we do not store any of username and passwords on the site.)  For ex: To send “Kabhi Kabhi” to a bunch of friends:

- Search for “Kabhi Kabhi” on Phulki
- You should now see a green sharing icon  next to each song
- Click on the sharing icon next to the song you want to share
- A popup is displayed prompting you with various options. Select “postcard” icon in the “Email” row.
- Enter your friends’ email addresses when prompted
- Enter your name and email address as well and click “Send”.

That’s it!

For hardcore listeners (we are one of them ), we realized that it would be simpler to link to the songs directly without having to go through few extra steps of searching and sharing. Hence, we have added some nifty features to our site that will help you link to songs/playlists in a very easy and intuitive way.

- To search for a song, you can simply type
htttp://phulki.com/s/<song name>

- To search for an album, movie, director etc
http://phulki.com/s/album/<album name>
http://phulki.com/s/director/<director name>

…. you get it

- To search for a song and automatically start playing all the songs in the page, without going through the process of adding them one by one:
http://phulki.com/p/<song name>

- To play a featured playlist
http://phulki.com/p/featured/<playlist name>

- To play a phulki user’s shared playlist
http://phulki.com/p/playlist/<username>/<playlist name>

- Finally, here’s my favourite: Just play a song:
http://phulki.com/justplay/<song name>

It should be obvious why we dub them ‘pretty urls’ internally. Pretty urls are the latest of Phulki’s music search features aimed at helping you spread your love for music and Phulki in a seemingly intuitive way.

So, go ahead pass on the message and start sharing songs with your friends. While at it, feel free to share your thoughts/feedback with us by commenting on the post.
