New Fans on the Homepage

I think that there should be a way for new fans who have just joined WhoseFan.com to get an "exposure" :) So now the latest 5 fans who have joined WhoseFan.com are visible on the homepage, right in the Top Fans section. Also, I've renamed that section and now it is called Top Fans & Newcomers. Welcome aboard!

Express Yourself With Emoticons

Okay folks, from now on it is possible to use Emoticons (aka smileys) in comments. All existing posts with valid emoticon shortcuts (i.e. ":)", ":(", etc) will be shown with emoticons instead of plain old text. This nice little functionality was missing on WhoseFan.com and now we have it. Enjoy WhoseFan.com.

Let's Make Friends

I have added a special page for listing websites that would like to partner, exchange a link or just become a friend of WhoseFan.com. It can be accessed at http://www.whosefan.com/friends.info.

Feel free to suggest your website for inclusion. Let's become friends.

New Features - User Profile, Friend Lists and more

I have added a couple of more features to WhoseFan.com to facilitate the web site's social aspect. So, let's review them.

1. You can now create your WhoseFan.com user profile. None of the fields are mandatory, so you are absolutely free to provide as much or as little detail as you would like. Moreover, you can designate your profile as public (i.e. every visitor can see your profile) or you can allow only users that are your friend to view your profile. In either case, your e-mail is not revealed and stays private.

2. Naturally, it is now possible to view other users' profiles. Simply, click a user's Nickname or avatar and you will see the user's profile. The profile page provides detailed information about a user.

3. From a user's profile you can add the user to your friends list.

4. In your account, you can see your friends list and remove users from the friends list as well.

Upcoming features will include support for sending e-mails to your friends, as well as sending private messages. Stay tuned and check us out frequently.

Add This! Support Has Been Added to WhoseFan.com

From now on WhoseFan.com users can take advantage of the Add This! service to add WhoseFan.com to their favorite social bookmarking service.

Just Added Items for Category

As a quick updated I've added the Just Added feature to WhoseFan.com category pages. Naturally, the region displays recently added items to a particular category.

Friendly URLs

Today I completed the URL rewriting feature. Well, there is nothing much to say about it except that... you know, compare which is better

a horrible

More features coming up, stay tuned!

New Feature - WhoseFan.com Signatures for Forums and Blogs

From now on you can insert your fan signature in forum posts or blog comments that you write. Simply you go the entity that you are a fan of and click the GET SIGNATURE FOR THIS ENTITY button. Select the type of image and code and you are done.



At the moment there are 2 different type of images but I will be adding more variations shortly.



Please note that some forums would not allow you to insert DYNAMIC code, so please grab the DIRECT IMAGE link.



Finally as a big fan of Prison Break, I put the signature button below for demo purposes.

New Feature

I've just realized that the WhoseFan.com homepage did not give any indication about recently added entities. Now you can find the latest nine additions right below the category list on the homepage. This should give to the latest additions more visibility.

Post Launch Day 1

The WhoseFan.com launch was ok, I would say more than ok. During the first hours of live testing and after the first users have input live data, some minor problems became apparent. All of them have been quickly fixed. From the next updates I plan to add support for tags and tag cloud.

WhoseFan.com Goes Live!

WhoseFan.com BETA has just gone live! You are welcome to visit the web site and create your very WhoseFan.com account. While I have thoroughly tested the system, there still might be some minor glitches here and there.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome at any time. Every new feature and fix will be discussed on this web site. Feel free to post your comments here or send via e-mail.

Thank you and see you on WhoseFan.com.
