Spymac took Orlando City hall by storm today, and gave out bundles of cold cash to the hundreds of hungry-for-money onlookers. Our agents were able to follow their orders like clock-work, so thanks to everyone who assisted in the event and who attended. Official footage will be posted soon, but in the mean time, here's some clips from the community:

Previously, we talked about a new feature that allows members to block people from embedding things in their profiles and comments. Similar functionality is now available for tagging.
Through your Account Settings, you can now control who is able to add tags to both your uploads and your profile. You can choose to allow only your friends, everyone, or no one at all. If you are having a problem with people tagging your uploads with words that you do not feel describe your content properly, simply turn public tagging capability off, or switch it to friends only.
Spymac is spreading like wild-fire in South America, and tonight we're officially holding a media and VIP kick-off party in Paraguay! A Spanish version of this announcement is below.
The countries top models, media representatives and celebrities will be there to help us celebrate, and it's rumored that Spymac co-founder Nostradamus might make an appearance!
The event starts at 8:30 PM, but it is a private party for the 300 invited VIPs until midnight. After midnight, everyone's welcome to come and help us party the night away! Videos and pictures of the event will be posted to Spymac as soon as they become available.

While we work in the background to release the new Top Charts (view this entry if you need a recap), our developers are busy adding features that are heavily in demand.
You can now set your profile to private! If you do this, only your friends can visit your profile and leave comments. Simply visit your Edit Profile page and mark your profile as "Friends Only" to activate this feature.
On the topic of your profile, we've recently been fine-tuning the engine behind the movies, pictures and audio that people embed in their comments to you. The result: profiles with lots of comments (With embedded content) should be loading a lot faster for everyone! This speed increase also effects people who embed stuff on MySpace, FaceBook, etc. Enjoy!
Don't you hate it when people slow down your profile by embedding stuff in your comments that you don't want? You can now take action! If you visit your Account Options, you will see a new option ("Comment embedding settings") that lets you:
-Block everyone from embedding anything (in either your profile, on your uploads -- or both)
-Give permission to only your friends to allow them to embed stuff on your profile or on your uploads
This is the month we are launching the charts -- stay tuned for more information on that!
Here's a new feature that has been high in demand: from the upload page, you can now notify all of your friends when you upload something new! This is a great way to keep your friends and family in the loop with what's going on in your life. If you select the "Alert the crew" checkbox, the friends you have on Spymac will get an email with a link to your upload.
When you're posting a new comment, you'll now see a checkbox labeled with:
"Tell me when someone makes a new comment!"
If you select this box, you will receive an email when someone else comments on that particular upload! So go ahead and ask a question or engage in a discussion -- you'll be notified when someone answers you!
We have a lot more coming, so stay tuned!
Here's two nice little features for you:
You can now make your webcam friends-only, which means that only people who have been approved as your friend can request a video chat. Do this from your profile edit page!
Also, if you've been wanting to change the flag on your profile, you can now do that through your settings page
Collections are a great way to gather your favorite movies, pictures, and even friends, all in one place! We've revamped the way they're displayed: bigger thumbnails and an scroller to easily view all the items in the set. Collections can even contain other Collections, which can lead to all sorts of fun.
Here's a cool Collection of Wallpapers so you can see what we're talking about.
Tip: When you embed a Collection, (for example, on MySpace) it shows up as a slideshow! Try it out.
Spymac visited South Beach last week to film an upcoming TV show (details announced soon). Last month's jackpot winner SOCOM12 made an appearance!
We're currently making some changes to the way the system works so this week's payout is going to be a little bit delayed. We apologize for that, but we're sure the changes are for the better!
Stay tuned!
We wanted to address some questions we've been receiving since yesterday's weekly payout, and to use this opportunity to talk about our revenue sharing in general.
Spymac has new people joining every day, and the number of total uploads keeps increasing. With more uploads, there is more competition! So you're going to have to keep kicking it up a notch every month if you want to hold your position in the charts! Granted, it's hard to know your position in the charts since we currently don't reveal that information, but we're going to change that!
The Spymac Charts is where you'll be able to see who's winning the big money each month. The Charts will make Spymac feel more like a monthly-competition, because that's what the site really is! For each payout, our system automatically ranks every uploader, and the higher they are on the Charts, the larger their share of the jackpot will be. We're also working on ways to let members have more say over who wins the jackpots each month. If you know of members who SPAM, or upload copyrighted stuff, you'll be able influence their ranking and allow for higher-quality content-producers to rise to the top.
Spymac's revenue-sharing model is unique because the top uploaders get the lions-share of the weekly and monthly jackpots. If you see quality content, it's very important that you rate it and share it with your friends! Such simple actions will ensure that the members who most deserve the big jackpots will get them!
The audio section was already pretty cool, but now it's even better! When you upload your latest music or audio creation, you now have the chance to add a picture to be used as its cover art! This picture will be shown instead of the traditional light-show thumbnail, so use this feature to really stand out! Slick!
We have a lot more goodies coming, so stay tuned!
If you live in Germany, you've probably heard of comedy star "Hannelore" from Freitag-Nacht-News on RTL. Guess what? She's moved to Spymac! This is a special treat just for our visitors from Germany, but everyone is welcome to check out what's going on:

Just a short note: It's a holiday in Germany today, and our team is taking a much-deserved break! We'll be paying out the large monthly jackpot when the office reopens on Wednesday. (Update: It's past midnight in Germany and the payout is out! You should have received a Wednesday Winners newsletter if you won, and a separate Money Makers newsletter if you have any Money Makers that won this month.
We've been working on some exciting announcements in the background, but we of course found time to do the weekly pay-out! Congratulations to all the winners - you should receive an email shortly...
And the best part? The monthly winners will be announced in the coming days, so keep uploading original, quality content to get your stake in this month's jackpot!
