We’ve updated Genwi with a bunch of new features and a new look and feel. Our goal is to provide a full context for managing and discovering content.
We think a few of these new things will be useful… helping you to share content with your friends, subscribe to your favorite feeds and find new content.
1) We have a new feed import wizard. Now you can add your content from other sites to your Genwi profile without an RSS feed. Check out the My Feeds tab under Account to see the various services we’ve connected, including Youtube, Flickr, and Blogger. When your friends view your Genwi profile they will see the most recent additions to all of your content online.
2) The My Web section is now a really great multimedia RSS reader application. We’ve added a continuous scroll to eliminate paging through updates from your subscriptions. We’ve also connected filters (feed name, profile name and category) as dynamic links. When you click on a category, for example, we’ll show you only updates from that category! The same is true for filtering by a feed name or a profile name associated with a feed.
3) We’ve improved the organization and look of the site. There are lots of new features, including granular sharing – when you share, you can choose which friends will see the item. Profiles have been streamlined to showcase updates from your feeds. We’ve added filters to the header bar – so when you’re browsing the My Web and Web sections, you can instantly filter down to a certain category of content and subcategory, or filter to a particular feed.
There are many other new additions and improvements with this release that you will notice as you use the site. We will continue to add new features over the next several months and look forward to announcing them on this blog. Please add any ideas or feature suggestions you have to the comments.
