Read, Watch, Listen & Discuss on CircleMe!

Happy Tuesday for all CircleMe’rs!

We have some great news to share with you: based on your feedback, we come out today with some significant enhancements: the Media & GoodReads  integrations, as well as the implementation of a new Action Bar and Conversation Notifications.

First, The Media Integration. Yes, starting from today you can easily listen to music samples and watch embedded videos directly on CircleMe! It’s now easier to learn about new bands and new music that you discover on CircleMe: you can listen to samples of artists taken from different albums, courtesy of itunes, and watch one of their most popular You Tube music videos directly on their dedicated item page.

You’re browsing through your trusted movie libraries for ideas on the next movie to match? Now you can also preview a trailer for each movie before adding it to your To Do or Likes lists.

Next, Goodreads Integration! We know you have many authors and books that you’d like to easily feature on your CircleMe profile. If you are a Goodreads user, you can now express more quickly your book likes by importing those from your GoodReads shelves.

We also tried to make everything easier for you with the new Action Bar, that incorporates in one place all the important actions you can perform on CircleMe: “Add like” “Add note”, “Add story”, “Add ToDo” , “Find Friends” and “Suggest a like”. Easy as that!

Moreover, you may have noticed that  we have worked on features to foster conversations between CircleMe’rs on their topics of interest. Now we’ll let you know when somebody replies to your notes, as a personal message delivered straight to your Inbox and via e-mail (you can control this option in your settings). It’s a good way to track and engage into conversations on any of your passions with like-minded people.

Last but not least, we have made some significant optimizations to speed up the viewing of profiles and will add more of those in coming days to deliver a faster and better browsing experience.

Be What you Like and Enjoy your CircleMe experience, more delightful from today!

3 New Features for a Fine Friday!

If you are a CircleMe’er, probably you’ve already received the first CircleMe newsletter this week and you read the cool and important news from us.

Now, as the weekend approaches, we want to give you some more good news. Today we introduce you to three new features on CircleMe.com, so you can enjoy the weekend some more: Pagination in Explore, Enriched Conversations and Social Profile Sharing.

What does all this mean?

Well, firstly the new Pagination feature in Explore allows you to discover more items in the Explore section of the site. On the top-right corner of the specific explore section the user will find arrows so that she/he can browse through  numerous items, to discover new things to like and share.

Secondly, we have worked on features to foster conversations between CircleMe’rs on a specific item. Since you’ve asked for it, you got it! Now you can reply to any comment you find on any passion-item you decide to explore. Just mouse-over the specific comment, and a “reply” function will get visible, so that you can contextualize any further comment you make about a specific item.

Finally, we have literally boosted the features related to Profile Sharing. Now, along with the already existing functionality to share profiles within the CircleMe’ers user base, you can share a profile on other social media, including Facebook and Twitter, with a simple click. Not only you can post on Facebook or tweet on Twitter, but you can also use the Gmail button to send to any of your lovely e-mail contacts.

Well… that’s all for this fine Friday folks. Time to CircleOn!

Our prize goes in Argentina!

Of course we have a winner for this week’s contest in the Official CircleMe Profile Chart. He’s Dari Oh , from Argentina. Congratulations!

We have already selected the next week’s participants ,so pay attention, maybe you are one of them. Remember that now you can promote yourself and share your awesome CircleMe profile to everyone, thanks to the newest adopted feature.

Have a wonderful weekend,

CircleOn!

Share your CircleMe profile with the world!

While you’re voting for the second contest on the Official CircleMe Profile Chart, we have a great feature that came out today : your CircleMe profile is finally public!

This means that from now on you can share with all your friends your interesting CircleMe profile, so everyone can see some of your likes and your passions, in your way.Cool, right?

Here’s a sneak peek view of how your profile looks for others.

Of course we won’t share all of your information. That’s why , if someone wants to know you better, he/she must “enter” inside CircleMe. You can easily use your profile as a presentation “card”, adding the link to your other social media accounts.

Inspire and get inspired on CircleMe!

Launching “StoryPage” and the slick “Invite Your Friends” tool!
