It's always good when we can mark an idea as complete. Maureen commented on this idea today that the feature request has been added to the Designer 8.5 client. So keep the ideas coming, the developers are watching.

Tags: LinkJam


Well we're beavering away with the development of LinkJam. hopefully we'll be going into a beta state in the next few weeks. But I thought I'd update you with a few of the newer features that I've been putting in recently.

Suggested Tags. Like IdeaJam we are really pushing tags with LinkJam so that as you post more links you can begin to build up a really good resource database of similar sites. To help with this, when you create a new link, if a link already exists for that domain then you'll be give a list of suggested tags to apply to your new link. That way you can benefit from the work that you and your colleagues have already put in.


Private Links. You might also want to create links just for yourself so rather than having to maintain private links somewhere else, you can simply mark your new link as private. Then you and only you will be able to see it in the future.

Importing Links. Bruce has already mentioned our import tool. So far we are supporting the importing of bookmarks from del.icio.us, Dogear, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari. If youd like to help us out we are trying to get as many links loaded up as possible, please feel free to send us your bookmarks file.

There'll be a lot more news over the next few weeks as we get towards opening up the site for beta testing.

Tags: profile ideajam email feature


Let's say that you changed recently changed the email address you used for IdeaJam and you want to maintain your votes, comments and ideas associated with your name. Well, we added the "Change Email" button on your user profile so you can now do this. Login, click on "Your Profile" in the top menu and change away.



The "Forgot my Password" feature is in the oven now and will soon be fully baked.

Tags: documentation ideajam




We have published the Installation, Setup and Customization document for IdeaJam. In fact a company evaluating IdeaJam wrote:

Man, I must say that this product has been a pleasure to work with. Customization is so easy it's pathetic :). I got it up and running in about 15 minutes, it took that long because I kept messing with the template instead of the actual db :-S. If I had been watching what I was doing it would have actually been quicker.

You can find the document at the bottom of this page.
