Introduction

As my friend Jim Anchower used to say, I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya, but it's busy work running a start up and all. Things are going marvelously well, and it would be downright inexcusable to not pause to thank all of you for participating on OnMyList. You truly are what makes this thing, well - a thing. Just a quick update about what's happened and what's coming down the pike.

We'll post more and more stuff at our blog. Check it out if you have not. It's a work in progress.

We're international!

 
We've had visitors from all over the world checking out OnMyList. Here's some interesting ones:

27 visits form Nepal (the Dahli Lama, I presume)
56 visits from Iran (searching for lists about how to build centrifuges, I presume)
53 visits from Brunei (the sultan looking for young companions, I presume)
1 from the Vatican (the Pope was immediately shocked by the blasphemous Ol' Hippie and decided not to return, I presume) ; )

We have widgets!

 
Check your "My Lists" page next to the "Change Password" link. It's still a little rough, but you brave souls out there can figure it out and be guinea pigs. This is a picture of the widget on my blog:

Redesign!

 
There is a redesign project in the works that includes a slightly new look and some new functionality. I am very bullish on what I have seen so far. I think you'll love the look. Look for it to drop in the first week of October.

Geez, is it already September???

Facebook!

apps.facebook.com/onmylist

Remember, if you are a Facebook user and have not added our application, do it today! It's a VERY cool feature to combine the sweetness of OnMyList with the monster playground that is Facebook.

News feeds from other sites!

 
Many of you may have noticed the daily lists from CNN, ESPN, and Jezebel. We are pulling the top stories of day from these sites to keep you in the loop with the outside world. Right now we are testing and tweaking this feature. Bear with us. With the redesign, there will be more of these snippets from more sources, but they will also be more smartly scattered throughout the day. Make sure to subscribe to the ones you like. With the new site, you'll have a personal news feed that allows you to track your lists and your subscriptions easily.

That's great. I've been wondering about widgetiness.

A redesign? But I love the site design! I have faith that I'll like the new one, too, but I am fully prepared to issue your designers a firm spanking if it sucks. And you know how we designers are so hard on other designers... <smack!>
