Your profile is there, but is anybody home?
I have a quick new feature announcement for you today: we’ve started logging all of the different kinds of “activity” that you can have on Biznik, and displaying the date and time of the last activity under your photo on your profile page, if you have a photo (another incentive for those of you who don’t to upload one!)
Now we’ll have an immediate indication of who’s active on the website. If you have had no activity recorded since we started logging, nothing will display. It’ll also allow displaying results on the membership page and elsewhere by most recent activity, for example, which should be interesting.
What constitutes “activity?”
- Viewing another members profile
- Sending an email to a member
- Giving a referral to a member
- Introducing a member to someone using the site tools
- Inviting someone to join Biznik
- Updating your profile
- Posting a new photo
- Posting a promotion
- Logging in
- Giving a testimonial
- Updating your keywords
Actively yours,
/dan

sounds interestign Dan…it puts the “active” in interactive website.
We’ll see how it goes in developing more of a community.
Also: I want to be a part of the development meeting for Biznik. Do you have your 12 particpants yet?

I like the expanded notion of “activity” … given your entreaties to bizniks to enter the blogosphere, I wonder if there is a way to incorporate blogging activity (especially comments) into the “counts”.

Definitely. I should also include attendance at an event, too. The problem with recording blog comments is that right now the blog is on a separate system from the website, and they don’t really talk to each other. But I can fix that…will add it to the “to do” list.
