Biznik 2.0 Sneak Peek: You define the boundaries of your local community
OK, we haven’t even released this yet and already I’ve got an exciting update to my previous post about local communities: John Adair, Biznik’s insanely talented and sharp-dressing Rails developer, has added a tool that allows you to define the boundaries of your local community. It’s a simple little popup menu on the members page that allows you to define the boundaries of your local community. (Previously the boundary defaulted to 50 miles, but that was too big because, for example, Bellevue and Seattle results were lumped together). Now, you can set the default to be as little as 5 miles, which really brings it home. Here’s a peek at the interface, set to show Bellevue Real Estate agents with 5 miles:
This is a LOT of fun to play with, changing the boundaries of your community and seeing who pops up close to you. And incredibly useful because it gives you full control over how you define “local.”

Your ability to respond and adapt so quickly is one of the most amazing – and unique – features of Biznik (you). It’s fun to watch!

The thing that’s so exciting about this entirely new version of the site is that it’s such a flexible, solid foundation to grow on. We’ll be releasing it with a lot already built in, and a lot more in the pipeline.
