Another New Feature

Email View Times

Now you can see when your friends have viewed your email invitation in addition to when they have viewed the actual event page:

If you are the event’s creator then next to your friend’s name is the “Viewed on” time. If this says “Viewed email on” then you know your friend has viewed your email but has failed to view the event page and has failed to RSVP. Is this person really your friend?

To try it out, simply create an event and invite some people. When you click to see the event page you will see a list of everyone you have invited along with the respective view times.

New Features!

What’s the best way to start a weekend? With new features!

If you were lucky enough to witness our “under construction” page last night, you knew something was up. Here are the details:

- Faster app loading. Calendar loading times have been greatly improved. This is what happens when you take away the fastest laptop Apple makes from your CTO and replace it with a 12″ G4.

- Improved embeddables. We now have a list view – it’s sorta hidden, but you can get there from here: http://spongecell.com/embed/list_designer/

- Add events to Spongecell, Google calendar, Yahoo calendar, iCal, and Outlook from the event page. We have big plans for the event page – stay tuned.

- A little while back we introduced Multiple Calendars, but neglected to announce it. Multiple Calendars allow you to subscribe (through iCal) to and publish (through RSS, iCal, and embedded calendars) sets of events through Spongecell. Couldn’t you do this with tags, you ask? Maybe, but probably not. This would also lead us down the slippery slope towards tag clouds, and tag clouds make us all a little nauseous.
