new homepages for everyone

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

if you haven’t already notices we’ve revamped both the non-logged in and logged in pages (splash and me pages, respectively). here’s some of the new features to both.

splash page

  • login without any clicks: no more having to go to the login page. now you can login right from the homepage
  • register on the homepage: we’ve made it easier than ever to register for an account. just hit the homepage, fill out the registration form and you’re ready to go.
  • new and improved ‘write a review’ box (really applies to all pages but why not review it here): we’ve rewritten the review box to be much cleaner and cross-browser compatible (even works in IE). we’ve also modified the search results to display the poster instead of the movie title (you can still get the movie title by hovering over the poster).

me page

  • da tabs… da tabs: now instead of just the latest reviews from people you like, you can get reviews filtered by ‘awesomeness’, ‘upcoming movies’, ‘movies in theaters’, etc. all right from your me page.
  • cleaner: we’ve cleaned up the entire me page to make it less cluttered and easier to navigate
  • what’s new: the what’s new section provides you a list of the cool new features we’ve added

also don’t forget to check out the twitter integration. http://moviestring.com/profile#twitter

we’re on facebook

Monday, September 1st, 2008

we just finished the facebook app. and we’d love to see what you think. install the app at: http://apps.new.facebook.com/moviestring/. right now the app is pretty much just a copy of the normal site, but we’re planing on some cool facebook only features.

if you have any problems with the app please email us at: info@moviestring.com or you can always use bugzilla (bugs.moviestring.com)

don’t forget to add our tab if you’re using the new facebook layout, hit the big + button at the end of the tabs list on your profile page to add the moviestring tab
