New feature: LinkScript
As you could probably tell by the title of this post, we rolled out a new feature yesterday evening, and we’re calling it LinkScript.
Basically, it’s a little snippet of code that you can paste into your website, blog or social profile. LinkScript allows you to take all your links with you wherever you go - and if you add, delete or edit links at your Friendnik profile, the script...

Friendnik 1.1 — A bunch of new features.
Yay! We have our first major update ready — it’s being piped into the intertubes by our technical gremlins as I write this. As soon as your pages have refreshed, your cache has been combobulated and your morning coffee has been served, Friendnik 1.1 will be ready for beholding.
So, idiotic jokes and fancy language aside, what’s new?
Public Profiles
When we first launched Friendnik,...

We’re slowly working through feedback and suggestions we’ve received and hope to have some new features ready soon.
In the meantime, don’t forget to...
Friendnik is Go!
Okay, here we go. After an extended private beta, Friendnik is finally open to the public.
For everyone still wondering what this Friendnik thing actually is, here’s an excerpt from our press release:

Living on Tulsa Time
Yeah, so I know I said we’d be live in March. Middle of. Second or third week. And now it’s April. Yep, no denying that.
But I can tell you that we’ve already started private beta testing, invited a couple of close friends to give the system a spin, or as we horse-lovers would say: a quick dash across the meadows, and are eliminating bugs as you read this…
Which means we...

A Day At The Races
Hello again, horse lovers of the world. I’ve just come out of another productive conference with my fellow friendniks, and I’m happy to tell you we’ve actually set a date.
Friendnik will be going live in March.
I know, that’s not a date, it’s a month. But we’ve actually set a month sounds more than ridiculous. So March it is. Middle of. Second or third week....

Horses for courses
We’re really stoked to announce that mexer will be providing us with some extremely cool illustrations for friendnik.
You can check out his work at his flickr.
Horsing around
We’ve set up a couple of profile pages on the social network roundabout, so please feel free to friend, follow or just stalk us in a friendly fashion. : )
Here’s the links:

→ virb
→ facebook
→ last.fm
→ twitter
Incidentally, and this might be considered a clue, this post is one of the things friendnik will be rendering redundant… (vagueness ftw!)
Only fools and horses...
It’s on its way.
We’ve assembled a great team of pixel tamers and megabyte wranglers: lichterkettenraucher (that’s me) is in charge of design and concepts, °visualcosmos is coordinating, brainstorming and know-howing, and finally yellowspace will be funneling all of the above into code and actually producing the site.
Now we just need all the miniscule details, bits &...

Chafing at the bit...
Quite a few people have been asking what on earth this friendnik thing is, anyway.
At this point, we’re still in the early stages of development, so there’s unfortunately not a lot I’m at liberty to tell you, even though we’re obviously chafing at the bit (to keep up the horse metaphors) to talk about it.
What I can say is that friendnik is a web service that aims to...
