Getting Good to Go!
It’s been too long since I’ve updated our Osmosus blog. We’ve really been working on Social Energy for a Green Planet! It’s been an unbelievably busy few months of 2009 working on the business and now we are gearing up for some very exciting times ahead, and I am pledging to keep this space more active going forward.
Firstly, I am excited to announce that we’re going to move out of our private beta period with a proper public launch. Watch for details here very soon!
We received some really, really fantastic feedback from many of you in our Osmosus community when we launched the private beta – thank you all so much! - and as a result have improved a host features and functions as well as added a whole range of new ones.
There were many bug fixes and improvements too many to list here but you will notice that things look better, work better and run faster.
We also added a range of new functionality including:
· Integrated more news and information adding The Canadian Press to our roster.
· Improved the look and functionality of the Forums
· Improved the Posting Editor and, probably more importantly, the instructions for the Posting Editor which now reside with Johnny Osmosus.
· Added (finally – highly requested feature) the ability for members to create and change their custom passwords.
· Added the ability for members to spread the exciting news of Osmosus with a new Invite Friends feature that lets you easily invite folks from your contact lists in Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo.
· Added a new Osmosus news section to the Homepage to help keep our members informed
· Improved the whole joining experience to make it easier and more informative
· And, as I mentioned, many more bug and under-the-hood improvements.
We’ll still be in an ongoing technical beta period when we launch, constantly improving the site and adding exciting new features and functions, however we are confident in the current version and ready to widen our audience and build our community. Of course, we will always be open to feedback on improvements and welcome your comments and suggestions here or you can always send email to feedback@osmosus.com
