    • Welcome Page, Friends List & Social Feeds

    • bykevin@mmf on15 Oct 08

    • We've expanded our Friends List functionality.  You can now link to your friends, view their recent activities, and interact with them a lot more on the site.

      Click on My Friends link at the top of the page!

      You'll also notice a new Welcome Page that displays all your workout stats, your 'Green' stats, and much more!

      Check it out...

    • Private Messaging is Here!

    • bykevin@mmf on20 Sep 08

    • We launched Private Messaging -- Now you can contact other users on the site!

      PRIVACY SETTINGS 

      • You can turn Private Messaging OFF by editing your Messaging Preferences. Just click on 'My Profile' link above.
      • You can BLOCK USERS who you don't want to receive Private Messages from.


      Other cool things:

      • Have Private Messages forward right to your Email Account.  For Privacy Reasons this is not selected by default.  Just edit your Messaging Preferences!

      So what next? We eventually will be building in more features for this but if you can think of any, just post your comment below!

      Cheers,

    • Where are my Runs/Rides/Walks/etc?!?!

    • bykevin@mmf on18 Sep 08

    • Last weekend we launched our extended profiles and made them more visible.  In doing an audit we realized we still had a lot of users who have made public routes that start/stop from their home or work.

      Because of this, we added a new display option to your Profile page: Display Public Routes.  We also disabled this by default as we would rather err on the side of public safety.

      If you are wondering where your route lists went to on your Profile page, click 'My Profile' above and edit your Privacy and Display preferences!

      Cheers,

    • New Design

    • bykevin@mmf on7 Jul 08

    • I'd like to address some of the bigger picture items -- As the original founder of MapMyRun.com 3 years ago, this little site has come along way. 

      This site is built on the feedback of it's users and we've been struggling to get all this new functionality out the door -- most things you see on the site are a direct response from a user saying to us, "Wouldn't it be cool if ... ?" 

      One of the reasons it's been such a challenge is that it is expensive from a resource perspective to provide you these types of services.  Granted, a free site can be supported by advertisers however how much advertising would you as a user accept? Pop-ups? Interstitials? 

      This summer and fall we really want to focus on quality and the premium level of services we now feel you deserve.  We've been working really hard to get us to this level and we're continuing to work hard to do so.  We're responding personally to every single reported issue and we're working on some bigger performance things right now to ensure that your experience with the site is perfect.

      If there are individual issues that you've noticed and you would like to comment on, I welcome your discussion.  If you would like a personal reply, please send it to us through our feedback system -- that way we can actively track and fix anything specific.

      Many of the performance issues that we are working on are still due to people's client / browser situation.  ie, Do you have a slower connection? older browser? a firewall program that is blocking our mapping script from working?  We're actively looking at work-arounds to improve these issues...

      Anyways, I just want to say that working on delivering the best experience for you is my number one priority.  I'm working closely with our technical team over the next week to ensure that any of this post-release issues are sorted out effectively.  If you have any questions about the transparency of this process, please don't hesitate to post them here or send them through our feedback...

      Cheers,

      -Kevin
