This is pretty interesting. Got a call from a close friend’s brother recently about helping them out with their upcoming website, www.malaysiandreamgirl.tv, which is pretty much an online reality model search series. First of its kind in Malaysia.

We of course jumped at the opportunity to work with them… for obvious reasons >:)

Anyway, started off by helping them source and set up their streaming server. I tried out the Adobe Flash Media Streaming Server, but it was a bitch to set up, so I scrapped that. So we went with the Wowza Media Server instead, which was easy to set up, easy to configure, streams flash videos smoothly and best of all, super great support. I emailed them regarding some problem and got a reply within the day (thanks Charlie!).

So after getting the streaming server up and running, they wanted to do an online audition and newsletter subscription form. That’s when I introduced ezypzy to them. Because in essence, those who are auditioning for the show are Dreamgirl’s contacts, so are their newsletter subscribers.

So we suggested to them that we could make a publicly accessible version of Dreamgirl’s Add Contact form and whoever registers through this form, they will be automatically added into Dreamgirl’s ezypzy account’s Contact list and tagged as ‘online’, so that they know exactly who registered online.

As for the newsletter, same concept with the audition form, except newsletter subscription form only has one field.

The other feature we would need to add would be a special subdomain for individual ezypzy users. So for instance, Dreamgirl’s online forms will only be accessible via http://dreamgirl.ezypzy.com.my/ (subdomain follows the username) .
