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 will reflect these changes on your site.

If your wondering what the hell I’m on about, take a look at the sidebar of this here blog. The links there are generated by LinkScript, so if we change a link in our profile, it also changes here.

Of course we added some options for you to style the results of LinkScript, and if you know a bit of CSS, you can make it look nearly any way you want. You can also choose to exclude certain links, categories or websites, you decide whether your avatar gets shown — as always, it’s in your hands.

Another thing you may have noticed: LinkScript will show public links to everyone and friends only links to your Friendnik friends, assuming they’re logged in to Friendnik. An easy way to tell whether you’re logged in or not is by looking at the line of text next to avatar inside LinkScript — if you’re logged in, it will greet you by username. Pretty cool, huh?

Needless to say, we think this is a great addition to Friendnik and hope you agree. Get your LinkScript today and you’ll have all your online identities to go…
