New Features: Subscribe to Collections and Feeds

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

You may have noticed recently the ability to subscribe to shared collections created by other people.

We have now extended that feature to allow you to subscribe to individual feeds.

Any collections or feeds you subscribe to are easily accessible on the right-hand side menus. But, to take advantage of this you need to be logged in.

Updated Page: Feed View

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Feed View has finally joined the other pages on ZuFeed with “Items per page” based viewing.

You can now view the entire archive for an individual feed by using the “Previous” and “Next” links.

Milestone: 100,000 Items

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Early this morning (Melbourne time), ZuFeed passed the 100,00 item barrier.

Hopefully this just the first of many to come.

In other news, there has been many minor updates across the ZuFeed site. Many of these changes have been bugfixes or minor usability enhancements.

A big “Thank You” to everyone who has provided feedback as this has provided many of the changes that have been made.

New Feature: Default Home Page

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

However if you don’t like the change, you can always change it back to “Recent News” in your preferences.
