Q: I have been thoroughly reviewing your videos to try to grasp VP2 My impression is that it is a powerful ...
resource, but there's some confusion as to what is currently valid - like Integromat isn't used anymore, etc. Most of the videos I have watched are dated and your last Founder's update on Appsumo appears to be out of date (2021?). I'd appreciate a more updated list of features so I know what it fully entails as of 2024. Could you also explain how Masher sites fit in and whether you're going to do a promo with % off for Appsumo purchasers? Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Jul 29, 2024A: Howdy, Integromat changed their name to Make, the integromat webhooks integration still works, you just need to get the APi code from Make. The Make software is a more affordable content syndication tool than Zapier and their visual mapping interface is definitely easier to use.
Link Processor was removed - This tool has gone away and no longer works/exists. We have replaced the indexing service with integrations with Omega Indexer and our own Visual backlinking service, BoostePages. Both tools are great at indexing and backlinking the link variations and can be set up simply by adding your API codes into the software.
The Twitter API integration still works. But you must have their Twitter Developer account which is $100/month to get a working API. Unless you're adding hundreds of YT videos each month this is not an affordable option. Thanks for this unaffordable option goes to Elon Musk. ;-)
We spent a lot of time in designing this updated version of the original VidPenguin that launched in 2015. The core software works great and as it was intended to syndicate the 32 YouTube link variations to different platforms. So we have not significantly altered the core programming ouside of server and maintenance updates. Listed below are feature updates since 2021.

10th November 2022
Ver 1.2
1. Link Processor - This tool has gone away and no longer works/exists. We have removed it completely from the system.
2. Omega Indexer - We have integrated this tool as a replacement for Link Processor. It is a stronger indexing tool but it does require you to have your own account. Simply copy API key into the integrations menu and then everything is the same as before.
