A Week In Review

With out first week of launching, we have gotten much feedback, listened, and then improved Yazzem by adding tons of great features. We are so excited for what’s happening now and what’s planned for the future (more on that later). So, in case you missed anything this past week, I have listed all the great updates and tweaks we’ve made to Yazzem.

Profile Pages – This was one of the most requested things and just something we ourselves wanted. So, you can now visit others profile pages and read their status, bio, etc.
Status Updates – This wasn’t actually a requested feature, but we knew it was a good idea. The status feature lets you answer the simple question, “What’s Your Status?”. So, you can say something like, “I am checking out Yazzem (and love it!)”
See who created which topic – It’s kind of nice to see who created which topic, so we made a minor tweak that shows the starter of each topic.
Newly designed Dashboard – Even though we’ve gone through many different Dashboard designs, we finally created one that worked.

Yazzem is coming along great and we hope you are as excited as we are!

Thanks,

Introducing Profile Pages

As a much requested feature, we have added profile pages. You can now view other’s profiles with their full name, bio, website, and location. Your own profile can be found by clicking the “Profile” link in the header.

Give us your feedback…we love it!

Thanks,

Some Minor Updates and Features

Since launch, we have gotten much feedback. So, we had to do something about all of the feature requests and ideas we received from our wonderful users. I listed the small updates and features we added:

Get to know others better – You can now hover over user’s avatars or name and a little box will appear that shows their full name, bio, and location. We are planning on profile pages for the near future with some sweet surprises.
Who started which topic? – Before, topics just showed the name, description, and creation date. But now you can see who started each topic…except only new topics started will show this. The old ones will not display who started which topic.

Thank you all for the great feedback and just starting new topics. It helps so much. But don’t worry, even bigger and better features are coming soon!

It’s Alive!

We’ve launched just a while ago and have already gotten great feedback! New members are signing up and we can’t wait to see where Yazzem goes in the next few months. We’ll keep you up-to-date on new things happening with Yazzem and even milestones we’ve hit.

Thank you all who have signed up, and if you have already, sign up now!

5 More Days!

The launch date for Yazzem has been officially set, and it’s right around the corner! Yazzem will be launching on Monday, June 8. We’ll have more information this weekend on the exact time of day you’ll be able to sign up.

Also, I should mention that I uploaded a new screencast that shows off all of the new features and things you can do. You can find it here.

Hopefully you are as much excited as we are!

We’re Gonna Blow Your Socks Off This June

As you probably all know (but if you didn’t yet) we are launching Yazzem this June! Since the screencast I made and uploaded, we have made a lot of improvements and added a lot more features that are “Gonna blow your socks off!” So, of course, I uploaded some new screenshots below:

What’s New?

Groups are now called Topics – not much to explain there.
Dashboard – There is a now a user Dashboard with quick links to things you can do on Yazzem.
Descriptions and Keywords – You will now be able to add a description and keywords to your topics.
Better Search – Search used to be weak and just plainly boring, but now each result shows a group description and a “join” link so you don’t have to visit the topic first and then join.

I’ll be uploading a new screencast showing off all of the new features within the next few days.
