We’ve Got Profiles… and Pictures… and Following!

Hope you’ll try it out - now you can create a visual gratitude journal posting pictures of what you are grateful for. Thankfulfor.com

We’ve been working on this for a while now and it’s been so hard for us to know that it was coming, test all the features on our test system, yet not get to share it with everyone. But as of tonight, thanks to our dev team led by Bill, we’ve got some colorful and fun new features!

Profiles: now you can add a photo of yourself, your website and tell us a bit about you. Just go into the Settings and select the Profile tab to set yours up!

Following: many of you asked us for a way to follow people you know or interesting people you’ve seen on the site. Now just click on someone’s name to see their profile and click the “Follow” button. 

Friends Thanks: use this link in the navigation at the top of the page to see the posts of only the people you follow.

Photos: you can upload or link to photos of things or people you are thankful for. (This is my fave feature!)

Notifications: go into Settings and select the Notifications tab to see the different emails you can get. We’ve added email notices to let you know when someone follows you, to send you posts your friends have posted (if you follow them) and even a Daily Digest from Thankfulfor that sends you a few posts from the public stream of thanks from that day.

Updated social buttons: under the posting box, we’ve updated the Twitter & Facebook options (if you’ve turned those on in the Settings area). If the icons are bright, that means they will send your posts to Twitter/Facebook. If they are grey, then they are turned off. Just click on them to toggle back and forth.

Deep linking: now you can link directly to a post like this:   http://thankfulfor.com/musings/24436

Please try them out and let us know what you think. And don’t think we’re stopping here. We’ve got more in the pipeline… like some mobile apps people have been asking for. YAY!
