Eachday

We’ve had several Eachdayers mention that it would be nice to have one centralized place for all your visitor comments, rather than comments getting “lost” in the past.

So we banged it out. Now on your profile panel, the “Show All Comments” button lists all the comments and discussion threads in your account, with each comment linking to the original context on the day or item it is associated with.

All of your requests and feedback are appreciated! We are always listening.

It’s time again to announce some more upgrades.

Beneath each day, and each photo in your account, you will now see 3 buttons: “Collect This Memory”, “Share This Memory” and “Order Prints and Gifts”.These 3 buttons expand into panels once clicked.

With “Collect This Memory”, we have given more exposure to collections, it is now much easier to add any item to a collection, or start a new collection with any item. You also now have the option to collect without tagging. Anytime that you want to add something to a collection, regardless of tag, just open this panel and go.

With “Share This Memory”, we have made sharing your memories easier. Also, aside from being in a more convenient spot, you may now personalize your message when you invite someone to see a specific day or memory.

And the big one – with “Order Prints & Gifts”, you may now finally order prints from your account, and create all kinds of great stuff from your memories – prints, photo books, t-shirts, calendars, posters, customized mugs and more!

A major upgrade! Now you can see all the latest from your friends, and stay in touch, in one centralized place. No longer will you need to launch out or open another window, separately, to see what your people are up to.

So, what all is in your new Friends section? Glad you asked, here is what you can do now:

• See a “feed” (or digest) of all your friends’ latest activity, in one convenient spot.

• Add friends (well, of course)

• Keep Friends and Family updated. Eachday now allows you to have a once-weekly digest of your activity sent by email to the people you care about. For example – Aunt Erma may never use Eachday herself, but she might love to have a handy digest sent to her each week so she can keep up with her nephew.

• Invite Friends to Eachday. Do you know people who aren’t using Eachday, but you wish they were in your Friends network? Now there is a convenient way to invite them in.

• Import your Contacts. If you use Gmail, Yahoo Mail, MSN Hotmail or AOL, now you can import your contacts in one super-simple step to automatically keep people updated on your Eachday account.

Now there’s a heaping, helping spoonful of upgrades …

Organizing your memories into collections with Eachday is already fairly feature rich. You may start a tag-based collection and have your stuff automatically organized based on assigned keywords, or you may upload a collection independent of days (like an old school album), or you may drag and drop things from your timeline into a new or existing collection.

However, we are trying to make it even easier, so today (or tomorrow) we will be rolling out a new feature, and you’ll find it in your options menu along the upper right of each memory – the “Collect” button. No longer will you have to scroll to the bottom and add a tag (for tag-based collections), or go to your Collections page to collect things.

Whenever you see something that should belong in a collection, just click Collect, and you’ll be able to add it to an existing collection or start a new collection with that photo, video, or audio clip. Easy peasy.

The ability to move an individual memory to a different date has been deployed for a couple months now. You just go to the full view of that memory (photo, vid or audio clip) and click “Move To” in the upper right options menu and then enter a new date. This is handy if the Memory Sorter could not detect a correct date stamp at upload, or if you manually uploaded to the wrong date on your first try.

Yesterday we deployed this same feature for whole days. You can now shift all memories from one day to another in one fell swoop.

I just realized we never really announced the first “Move To” release, so I’ll take this opportunity to announce both. Happy movin’!
