Tonight is a very exciting night with the launch of Twitter integration, @mentions, status comments, Latest Activity filter, the ability to delete comments, and some other, minor upgrades. At first, we were just expecting to launch status comments and the Latest Activity, but that little project soon turned into a major upgrade to Yazzem. These new features have been requested many times, and now we are glad to be making them available to everyone!

Here is the list of new features:

Twitter integration – Since you can update your status on Yazzem, we thought it would be cool if you could have those updates posted to Twitter, too. So, now you can connect your Yazzem account with Twitter by going into Settings > Twitter > and then entering your Twitter credentials.

@mentions – An @mention is when you mention/reply to someone in a comment or status update by putting an @ symbol before their username. So, for example, @dustin would link to Dustin Snider’s profile. You can keep track of all your mentions by going to the new Mentions page, found in the navigation.

Status Comments – Status updates now show a link called ‘comment’, which allows anyone to leave a thought on a status.

Latest Activity Filter – We noticed that the Latest Activity timeline can become crowded with updates about topics. So, we created a filter that filters out the updates you don’t want to see. Meaning, you can view just statuses, or just topic updates.

The ability to delete comments/statuses – We added a small blue trashcan next to your comments/statuses, just in case you make a mistake, etc.

Hope you all like the new updates, and let us know what you think!

Thanks,
Zachary Collins
