We like shiny new things
on December 5th, 2007 by vertigo jones
Based on your feedback we’ve updated quite a few sections of Stirrdup today to make things a little easier to read and use.
New tabs, a re-designed comment page that gives us real estate to release some new features we’re working on, prettier avatars, and whole slew of other small tweaks that should add up to a better experience. We still have a boat load of improvements and new features coming and these changes should pave the way for them. Almost every change we made was based on the feedback you guys send us through the contact us link at the bottom of every Stirrdup page, so please keep them coming.
Things we’re currently working on:
- Photo thumbnails and sorting.
- Displaying everyone who me too’d a story.
- A section where you can go back through all the stories you’ve read and the option to display them publicly (turned off by default).
- Snazzier user profiles and options.
- Letting you create a list of your personal websites and notifying you when one of your stories is submitted and/or becomes hot.
- Feedback forums. You guys have a ton of great ideas and we want to give you a place to be able to share them with each other (and motivate us to work faster. :))
- Tagging. You wouldn’t believe how often we see this one.
We’re also working on some smaller things like letting you me too a story from the main page - or any other story view - without having to visit the comment section. We purposely avoided doing this because we wanted to make sure if you me too’d a story that you had at least cared enough about it to visit the comments, but it turns out you guys pretty much hate that.
Since there are enough other factors to offset the “speed me too’ing” in our points system we’re finally going to implement that.
Stay tuned!
