Our Weekend Self-Improvement

michaelbroukhim on June 9, 2008

With a web application like TotSpot, you’re never quite ‘done.’ We’re committed to making TotSpot the best place to share the story of your child online, and that means, continual self-improvement. We’ve been working through the weekend in response to your feedback.

Here are just a few of the things we’ve updated:

  • We’ve added ‘reply-to’ email addresses to invitation and friend requests emails, making it easier to get in touch and verify the identity of individuals who want to connect with you through TotSpot.
  • A new dedicated ‘email confirmation page’ should make it easier for users to complete their registrations.
  • We now list the year next to each of your ‘Firsts’
  • Entering a middle name is no longer mandatory (and never should have been - sorry!)
  • If a user receives two invitations to TotSpot and accepts one, the second invitation (and third, etc.) is now automatically converted into a friend request (what we internally referred to as our ‘grandparent bug’ because it affected a few of our grandparent users)
  • Issues with importing Flickr photos from non-Flickr Pro accounts have been resolved
  • An error with importing photos from certain Picasaweb accounts has also been corrected
  • A few errors in indicating gender throughout the site were corrected
  • The hair / eye color pickers now work more smoothly, and the tooltips no longer refer to ‘Max’ (Adam and I both have a baby cousin, Max!)
  • Finding out photos you’ve been tagged in has been improved
  • Several other minor fixes!
Thanks to all of you who’ve taken the time to get in touch, point things out, and make suggestions!
Stay tuned for many more updates coming soon. As always, if you have feedback, get in touch either by email, twitter, or through our new GetSatisfaction site, which we’ll be integrating into our site more closely over time.
