Wetpaint Fans Have Been Heard

Posted by Kevin on March 13th, 2008 comments 2 Comments

We asked and you certainly answered.

We’ve received a lot of great feedback about our recent release, which isn’t too surprising, considering it was chock-full of fantastic feature enhancements. We did things like make Wetpaint even more social, added a What’s New site activity dashboard, revamped the page layout to give members more room to do their thing, removed some ads, rolled out some cool tools to help creators get more traffic, (*whew*) and more. Most of the response has been overwhelmingly positive — however, a few tears were shed for one feature that was removed.

Our “out with the old, in with the new” spirit motivated a decision to fold the home page Recent Site Activity module (formerly located in the right-hand column) into the brand-new What’s New site area. While the What’s New dashboard provides approximately 1,726 times the awesome, many among the Wetpaint faithful liked the “at a glance” nature of the Recent Site Activity module.

So what’s a company to do? Duh… listen up and do something about it! So in answer to your feedback, we’re restoring the Site Activity Module to the home page, though in a new location. Look for it in the next few days in the left-hand column, where you presently see the “To-Dos” access point (which will move up into the horizontal navigation menu bar).

So Wetpainters, keep giving us suggestions — we’re listening.

Thanks for the Great Service! I am glad you have made this change, based on what I saw. Lots of people loved the release, and just wanted that Latest Site Activity panel back. And, as Wetpaint does, they listened! :) Thanks for making this change, even though I liked the change. I will be doing another blog post about the release and my show on my blog.

Thanks for the great service!
