Things are moving fast at Pinyadda HQ and we wanted to make sure to keep everyone in the loop about what we’ve been up to. Yaddapalooza was a huge success, with hundreds of people coming out to celebrate our progress and cheer for the future, and we’re super pumped to turn on the gas and really take Pinyadda to the next level. Here’s a quick rundown of the cool stuff we’ve shipped in the last few weeks:
The Newsstand
Our users needed a better way to find new people, sites, and topics to follow that allowed them to do three main things: find a known quantity (e.g. a person or site whose name they were sure of), find unknown quantities with a known criteria (e.g. sites that have content about cars), and browse content by category in a way that was intuitive and fun. We’re pretty happy with the way it came out and we’re eager to hear your feedback about how to make it even better.
New Badges
If you haven’t heard about the release of our partner badges, go check out the May 19th series of posts. Today we pushed three new badges of our own with the intent of fostering bigger and better discussions, and having a little bit of fun with some of the great publishers and topics that make up Pinyadda’s unique content ecosystem.
The Watercooler Badge is awarded to all participants in a conversation that really takes off – like this one about the Cape Wind project – so that we can reward the users that really drive dialog around particular items. More voices in a conversation means more points of view get represented and shared, and that’s really what Pinyadda is all about. Pick an item you’re passionate about (or one that’s really funny) and make a push for the Watercooler Badge today.
The You Got Iced Badge is our homage to a new social phenomena that’s sweeping the country, pioneered by some true visionaries down South. We won’t tell you exactly how this badge is unlocked, but we think it’ll be pretty self-explanatory after a few of your followers get cyber-iced on Pinyadda.
The Zuck It Badge, awarded in honor a certain CEO who’s been in the press quite a bit lately, is unlocked by following – well, we think you can figure it out. Needless to say, this is a badge you’ll want to make sure you share on Facebook.
Updates
There’s also a ton of little stuff we’ve been cleaning up on the site – everything from new Follow buttons and badge-sharing features to some language changes (‘My People’ in the lefthand nav area is now ‘Home’) and performance enhancements. If you’ve got questions, or find one of those pesky little bugs, let us know. Because sharing is caring.
As the temperature rises this summer and your desk job starts to get more and more intolerable – head on over to the ‘Yadda. We’ll hook you up with great content, better conversation, and our own digitized version of a frosty cold beverage. While you’re at, bring some friends – because unlike your ugly Aunt Gertrude, we love new visitors.
