Hello fellow Fanpoppers, we’ve been so busy adding new features and improving Fanpop that we’ve neglected the good ‘ol Fanpop blog (whoops).
Nevertheless, I wanted to officially announce two new features for you:
- The Fanpop Soapbox: The Soapbox provides fans a way to post their thoughts, musings, opinions or anything else to a given spot. Feel free to get up on the soapbox when you’re upset that a new tv show that hasn’t lived up to the hype, or you’ve got a specific idea about how to watch the Star Wars trilogy or when you just want to tell the world about a cool little startup’s humble beginnings ;-). It’s easy to do and a great way to drum up a conversation with fellow fans. For people who don’t maintain a regular blog or just want to be heard by an immediate audience of readers who share the same interest, Soapbox is the perfect venue to be heard.
- Personalized RSS Feeds. Tired of checking the site for the latest updates in your subscribed spots? Now you can go to your personal profile page (click on the “my page” link when signed in) and look for the orange rss button next to “my spots”. This will take you to an rss feed that has all the latest updates from the spots you are subscribed to. To further customize the feed, simply join other spots.
We’ve also made a host of other performance and small UI enhancements across the site. Many of these changes are based on direct feedback from all of you. So thanks for all the ideas and encouragement to date. We’ve got a lot of other cool new stuff up our sleeves in the coming months and will keep you posted on things as they happen…
