Andrew and I spent a few hours on 5alist.com this week, and we now have some nice new features and tweaks:
Widgets
You can now embed your 5alists on your blog, and if you decide to edit them in the future they will update without you having to do a thing. They look exactly the same as the lists on the site too:
Top 5 recent changes to 5alist
Make your own Top 5 list on 5alist
High Fives
We’re being cheesy - you can give a five a ‘high five’ by clicking on a button, and then it appears in a list of your ‘fivorites’. At some point we’ll run out of puns on the word ‘five’, I’m sure.
Random Fives
You can now browse through the whole site without even moving your mouse - just keep clicking on the ‘Random Five’ that appears at the top right of every five.
Recent Activity on the Home page
When you’re not logged in you’ll see ‘latest comments by everyone’, but when you log in and ‘follow’ other people, you’ll see a list of all of their activity on the site. If they add a five it appears there, if they comment or high five something, that activity will show up. That’s also available as RSS too.
Search box
Seems obvious, but it took a while to set this one up…
Profile pages
We were a bit tired of the way there was a separate ‘dashboard’ and ‘public’ profile page. Now we just have one and it’s much simpler.
Any suggestions for more things we should do to make the site better?
