Follow Me on Skribit!
Paul Stamatiou, 12:22 pm, 12 Aug 2009Last week we rolled out several updates and a few features. Not a huge release but still some things you’ll notice around the site. Rather than keep talking, I’ll just show you what we’ve been doing:
You can now follow users! We are working on an activity stream feature for a next release, so it’ll all make sense then.
A new security feature – we can automatically move suggestions with bad words into your spam bin on the manage page.
Ohh pretty! There’s a new icon under actions now. The icon with a user and a red delete? That lets you ignore suggestions from a particular person or IP. Just another feature aimed at helping control the quality of your suggestions.
Submit a suggestion (“unclaimed” as we call them) with no particular blogger in mind, and let anyone add it to their blog. You’ll be notified of updates and when bloggers write about your suggestion.
We’ve changed the pricing structure for our Pro accounts. From $5/month to a one-time $24.95 for a year. More than 2x cheaper now!
As usual, thanks for using Skribit and we have some cool stuff in the works!
Nice. Is there a way to eliminate any URLs pasted in the suggestion box? Some people who really don’t get the concept paste their blog post links in the suggestion box instead of emailing them to our tip line.
Patrix, August 12th, 2009 at 12:55 pmHey Patrix thanks for the comment. At the moment – no, but i’ve noticed the same problem on my site and around Skribit as well. We are working on a solution to this in the form of a separate area to suggest links/etc along with suggestions, so as not to clutter up the actual suggestion.
Thanks for using Skribit!
