New Thing! Haikoo Readings

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Good evening!

Do you like reading these excellent haikoos? Do you have ideas of how you think these ought to be translated into the real world? I know I sure do!

To this end, you can now upload a video of your rendition of a haikoo to YouTube and then post it onto the specific haikoo’s page. All you need to do is click the “Add a reading of this haikoo” button on an individual haikoo’s page and paste in the link to your YouTube video. Then it will be available for everyone else to enjoy!

I’ll try to post some myself tomorrow. I hope you’re as excited about this as I am!

New Thing! Exploring Unrated Haikoos

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Hello, friends!

A new feature went live tonight — exploring unrated haikoos. If you are logged-in, you should be able to go to http://haikoo.org/explore and be presented with a random selection from the list of haikoos that you haven’t rated.

For those of you that have been rating a bunch, this will help you make sure you’ve seen them all. For everyone else, it provides a way to jump at random into the growing lake of haikoos.

Now to start working on SUPER SECRET FEATURE.

New Thing! RSS of Completed Haikoos!

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I didn’t notice until mid-day today that the work I did last night had some unexpected impact on the ability to Start and Contribute! That is fixed, and you have my sincere apologies.

On to the NEW THING! For those of you that use services like Google Reader, or Bloglines, or NetNewsWire, or even Facebook, you can now subscribe to the list of completed haikoos. There’s a link at the bottom of the Admire page that will get you hooked up. Then you can check your newsreader to keep up on the haikoos that get completed.

I know this isn’t a big deal to some, but rest assured that there are at least a few people that are bouncing up and down in their chairs with excitement as they read this. I can hear it!
