You might notice when you login and go to your profile page today that you will see a new module called “My Updates”. We rolled this out last night with our newly redesigned recent activity pages. We’ve had a recent activity page in the past but it only showed recent comments made to your links or replies to your forum topics. In the past several months of using the site and gathering feedback, we realized that it was tough to keep up with all the things going on all over Fanpop. We also knew that our features to help you keep track of all that action was a bit all over the place. We had new links from your spots under My Spots and we had new comments under Recent Activity. We’ve decided the best way to be kept up to date on the latest and greatest on the stuff you care about was to do a feed of updates. Now when you log in, you can go to “My Updates” and see a list of recent activity on forum topics you’ve posted or content you’ve added as well as recently added links and videos to spots you’re a fan of. On the “My Updates” full page you can filter out each of these to see only comments recently made to your contributions or just view the newest videos in your spots.
This new feature probably makes it 10x easier to waste even MORE time on Fanpop because now all this new stuff you might not have noticed before is right in front of you. We apologize for decreasing your productivity at work or in your studies even more than we already have…but hey at least you’re having some fun! Now go and check out what’s shaking in your spots with “My Updates”.
