It’s much more fun with achievements!

As you are aware we recently added an achievement system to YouSayToo and now you can get achievements by hanging out in your favorite Spots and also compete with your friends.

Each achievement rewards you with Reputation points and the more achievements you complete, the more you will advance through the ranks. With each rank your Influence pool will grow giving you more precious Influence points to spend on all YouSayToo goodies.

Head on over to your dashboard to view the achievements you’ve already earned and ones you’re yet to complete. Keep ahead of your friends by completing the most achievements!

P.S. Influence now regenerates hourly. Each hour you gain 10 Influence points.

If you’re in need of some Influence points RIGHT NOW, sharing Spots and posts on your Twitter, Facebook and Google+ accounts will get your a boost of Influence.

Participate in your favorite Spots, curate your passions and reach new heights with YouSayToo.

Major YouSayToo Update

We are very excited to release the new YouSayToo update. There’s so much new, cool stuff we’d like to tell you about, so let’s get started!

New Spot look & feel

The first thing you’ll notice is that we’ve completely redone the Spot Cover page. Now Spots look like they are compiled of articles from different blogs. If only we could make them smell like a real newspaper :)

Spot Avatar and Cover

That’s right, now there is an option to upload your own Spot cover images and avatars when creating or editing your Spots. Let your creativity loose!

YouTube, Vimeo & Flickr support

You can add YouTube and Vimeo channels as well as Flickr albums. Expand your Spots with video and photo content.

Streams are now Publishers

Let’s be honest the Source/Stream terminology was a bit confusing so we’ve decided to rename them into Publishers. Which is exactly what they are.

Publishers and their Content

We’ve made some improvements to the Spot Publishers page. Now you can choose the way articles are displayed: Full view, Titles only or Thumbnails. This little feature will make content browsing much easier.

On-site Notifications

With the new on-site notifications you’ll always be aware of what’s going on in your Spots. In the next update you’ll be able to get all the updates right to your mailbox.

Drop by YouSayToo and check out the new features for yourself. Customize your Spots, add new publishers and have fun!

As always we’re happy to hear your thoughts and ideas. Feel free to write to us with your suggestions.

YouSayToo Beta Update

 

We’ve rolled out the new update to YouSayToo. We focused on features which will allow you to find awesome content which you are passionate about more easily and spot that content into your Spots.

Here’s what we changed:

  • Passions. You can browse Spots on subjects you are passionate about and also assign them to your Spots and blogs.
  • The Spot page displays top Spots on your chosen passions. Finding the best Spots on the subjects that interest you has become much easier.
  • Spot Stream. You can find content for your Spots in each Stop Stream. Use the right sidebar to manage what content you want to see in the stream. Invite friends.
  • You can invite your friends to Spots on YouSayToo. The invite button can be found in every Spot that you joined. Friends that you invite will receive an email from YouSayToo.
  • Spot description. A popular request from you guys was to add Spot descriptions.
  • When creating Spots, you can now add cool descriptions. The Stream page has been removed. Too many people found it confusing.

What we are doing next:

  • Adding Streams. A better way to add blogs to YouSayToo.
  • User profile page and settings page.
  • Even more appealing Spot design. 

We welcome all feedback and also wishes for further development. Feel free to tell us what features you’d like to see on YouSayToo in the future. Drop us an email or use the feedback service on the right side of every page on YouSayToo.

YouSayToo Beta Launched!

          

Hurray! We have finally launched the new YouSayToo in open Beta! We’ve made many improvements we hope you will like.

It’s all about You! The new YouSayToo is Community Driven Media where You, the content creator and reader, decide what is interesting, important and of value. It is your voice that counts in both adding your content to YouSayToo and rating the content of others.

Introducing Spots

Spots are the cornerstone of YouSayToo. They define our Community Driven environment. You can create your own Spots and join the Spots of others built around topics you are inspired by. Contribute your voice, your comments, your insights, your media. “By Spotting” content you become an editor curating content which you consider important and of value.

Exploring Spots is an adventure in itself. You will now be able to find exciting, relevant content chosen by real human beings, meet like-minded people and share your ideas with everyone!

At YouSayToo, community starts with You!
