Last week our internal messaging system was implemented. Messages created or received through SweetDeeds are copied and stored for access under “messages” tab on each members “My SweetDeeds” page. This is a huge step forward in usability because  messages that get marked as junk or spam in a member’s email app and possibly deleted, now get noticed when loging-in on the site. The number of new messages waiting in a member’s “My SweetDeeds” messages page is displayed in red text on the home page.

A lot of you have been nagging me to upgrade the SweetDeeds messaging system. It is in the works! We spec’d it last week and it should be implemented in two weeks. So, you’ll finally have a messaging page in My SweetDeeds where you can view and delete messages to stay organized on the site. This way you don’t need to be a Google Mail or Microsoft Outlook maven to keep your SweetDeeds messages out of the Spam folder. You can just handle it all in your My SweetDeeds.  Thanks to all those folks who gave us feedback!

This week the team upgraded the video for higher res and beautified the player. Also, the photo uploader has been upgraded to accept uncompressed files and then automatically resize for the slide show. Best of all, the Tip Jar has been fully implemented. This allows experts to receive tips for having saved other folks a lot of headaches. Look for the icon on Pro and Show & Tell profiles.
