lino ’09 is released!
We’re pleased to announce the release of lino ’09, the new version of lino. It comes with a new interface and features that reflect usage trends and user feedbacks, and make the service even easier and more convenient not only for personal use, but also for use at schools or workplaces.
The new version’s interface has been completely revamped to make navigation simpler and easier to grasp.
Convenient new features include “File stickies” that enable the easy sharing of Word, Excel and other files, “Search stickies” for visual search of stickies, and “Embed lino” for embedding lino in blogs.
In addition to a current free service, a pay service at $3 has also been launched. Paying users can post large files with “File stickies”, search old stickies, save original image files with “Photo Storage”, and protect all lino communications with SSL encryption.

We believe that lino has gotten more convenient and easy to use now. Let’s enjoy lino with your friends and colleagues!
I work in a school and we’re running the school website. I’ve been looking for online stickies, but none seems to have the necessary features that we need. Your stickies have a lot of potential. I tried embedding it into our site and it works very well, not to mention that it is fairly simple to use. Only, I have a problem with access. We want everyone to be able to view all the stickies; but we want the posting to be limited only to a certain group. Is that possible. Guess, it’s ok to shell out an amount for a sticky premium if such feature is available. You see, we fear that others may try to vandalize the wall or post inappropriate content. Without said security add-on, using this on our site become problematic. I really hope that I receive a response to this. Thanks. J. Grandea

To whom it may concern:
I don’t know if this is the right place to request something, if not please direct me to someone who can help.
I would like a small window added to my main page that has all my email accounts already logged in. It would be cool if I logged into lino and on the right hand side all my email accounts were right there showing me I have mail. In addition I should be able to click on each account and a separate window opens up to my inbox. You could also throw in facebook as well. This way lino truly becomes my one stop desk top.
If this already exists on lino, please direct me to directions on how to do this.
