Today we’re excited to announce the first version of search on Strands.
Why would you want to search on Strands? Well, maybe you want to find all of the people who listen to Britney Spears. I know I do. Shoosh, it’s my guilty pleasure
You can search on yourself or everyone on Strands, and then filter on the type of stuff you want to find…such as blogs and notes, videos, movies, bookmarks, events, and of course music.
This is very early days for us and search, so please give it a whirl and as always, let us know what you think by emailing us at feedback at strands dot com!
Congrats to the Strands team for kicking serious butt on this one, and congrats to all of you for letting us know how important search is to you.
So we just put out a bunch of new features and fixes. It’s a mini release that packs some big punches.
How did we know what to work on and fix up? You of course. The past few weeks have been hella rad, because your feedback, your interest, and your suggestions are what is driving us to make Strands really kick ass.
So first we’d like to thank our team for really digging in and taking care of business. Then we’d like thank you, our Strands community for going above and beyond. Take a bow, you deserve it.
Now onto the awesomesauceness.:
* added “invite friends”/import address book to registration flow (and improved from the “people” tab too) - This means that you can now easily invite and add people from your Gmail/Yahoo/MSN email accounts. It’s so easy, my mom can do it. If she had any contacts.
* gave everyone unlimited invites - Yep. To go with Operation mainSTREAM’s contest (You have until Nov 1st to get in on the action!), we’re giving away prizes to the top inviters for the month of October. You can win a Macbook Air for you and your nongeek friend. You’ve been asking us for more invites and well…you got em. Unlimited Power up!!@#!@#!@#
* when someone registers from an invitation, they automatically follow their inviter - Invite your dad, and they accept? They’ll auto follow you. W00t!
* members can now explicitly “block” other users from following them - Someone pissing you off? Block that fool.
* members can delete their own accounts - Don’t want to stay around? (sadtrombone) you can delete yourself if ya want. But come back now ya hear?
* numerous bug fixes - Wonky stuff we caught and you caught, and now they’re fixed. Keep the feedback coming to feedback @ strands.com
Hello friends. My name is Kalong and I work at Strands. Find me at www.strands.com/kalong I am on the marketing team and I also help monitor the Strands community. I love my job and I love almond mocha fudge ice cream.
This is my first blog entry on here and honestly, I have no idea what to write about. What do you guys think I should write about? I’ll write about anything relating to Strands as long as it doesn’t involve the technology behind it..that would make for uber short blogs.:-) But I am taking ideas. What would you like me to write about on this Strands community blog? New features? Trends? You? Share your thoughts and feelings with me, and I will make it happen. Comment below! Adios amigos!
