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 only allowed people to set their links as viewable to friends or other members of Friendnik — the assumption being that people wouldn’t want completely public links.

Many users grumbled, we listened. You can now set your links — on an individual link-by-link basis — to private, viewable by friends, by any Friendnik member, or as public. This does mean that your profile is public as soon as you have one or more public links. But then there’s nothing wrong with that, some links just need to be shared with everybody. Here’s my profile, just as an example…

Also, check out the new rotating members gallery on the home page… (You’ll have to be logged out to see it…)

Home Town & Birthday

Here’s another one quite a few people asked for: you can now add your home town and your birthday to your info, if you  want. (It’s in Settings)

Other Bits & Pieces

Your profile pages now have the links sorted by categories, so it’s a bit easier to find stuff, and we’ve added quite a few new services and sites to the list.

Obviously, we think the new improved Friendnik is pretty cool, and hope you do too. Check it out, and let us know if you have any suggestions.
