Weekly Tech Roundup #3
This week was another biggie for us–we rolled out a bunch of new features and tools that will add speed, style and substance (the three S’s!) to your NowPublic experience.First there’s our new comments:
They’re sleeker, easier to read, and closer to the top of the story. Now when you want reply to a comment, all you have to do is hover over it. Also, comments posted by new users who contributed a photo from Flickr will have a link to that photo in the comment:
One reason the comments have moved up on the page is because we rolled out our new Crowd Power tool. It’s now a layer that pops out when you choose, so you can request photos from Flickr and videos from YouTube to your stories when you want to, or just go right to the comments if you don’t (but you do, of course).
Clicking on the button beside Crowd Power opens the new layer, which now shows more photos at a time and has a better, friendlier interface. And, since it lives on top of the page instead of in it, your page loads faster. Check it out:
Whew. Yes, we’ve been busy, and made a lot of changes in an effort to improve your NowPublic experience. Take a look at a story page, see how these changes effect you, and let us know by commenting here. We’re listening.
