Yoono Community

About a month ago now we announced the most significant update to Yoono since releasing version 5 over a year ago. In the past month, we’ve continued to improve product based on your valued feedback via our support community (link to GS) and Twitter (@Yoono). Today, we’re announcing Yoono 6.1 which will polish the experience with new features, usability improvements and bug fixes. Additionally, we’re excited to announce a partnership with real-time search engine, OneRiot.

OneRiot and Yoono are a great example of two technologies that work perfectly together to enhance the user experience. Yoono is about delivering your realtime social stream to you wherever you are on the web. OneRiot is about helping users find the pulse of the realtime web. By crawling the links people share on Twitter, Digg and other social sharing services, then indexing the content on those pages in seconds, OneRiot delivers search results that reflect what our friends and other people are talking about, sharing and looking at. And of course with Yoono it’s easy to share your OneRiot discoveries across all you social networks at once! We’re excited to have OneRiot as a part of Yoono’s seamless experience connecting users to the realtime social web.

There are a few other features that we think you’ll find highly rewarding in Yoono 6.1. First of all, we’ve updated the user interface of Yoono to maximize vertical screen real estate and improve usability (and of course to make it look even cooler). The changes are subtle but we think the new look is simple and clean and will have you saying, “wow!”

Additionally, there are some usability improvements that just make sense based on user feedback (and btw, thanks for all the awesome feedback so far!). Highlighting my favorite, prior to version 6.1, new updates would automatically scroll your updates list even if you were in the middle of reading an update or sending a reply, causing you to “lose your place” in the stream. Now, if you’re not at the top of your updates list, a notification will politely appear at the top of the updates section notifying you how many new updates are available. A simple click will refresh the list of updates. This minor tweak makes a big difference to daily usability.

Finally, the Discovery Widget in Firefox 3.5 (which will hopefully be shipping in final form soon!) now supports private browsing (discoveries will not be pulled when in Private browsing mode) which should be a welcome benefit to users. This stuff plus myriad bug fixes, tweaks and minor updates that will improve your happiness, make Yoono even easier to use and solve some of the issues you’ve been (kindly) telling us about. And of course we’re already hard at work on our next release! Enjoy!
