Thanksgiving on wis.dm is all about people

While many people were relaxing with family over the last few days enjoying some turkey, we locked ourselves in the office working on some new features for the people page. Here's the quick overview...

The People page has taken on slicker, more functional look. In addition to a cleaner way of displaying people, we’ve provided some new views to see who’s doing what on wis.dm. Check out the “fans” tab to see who’s marked you as a friend and the “matches” tab to see which wis.dm’ers you’re most compatible with.

Ever wonder whether someone’s online to read a comment you just posted? Well, wonder no longer. - an “online” indicator now appears below a user’s avatar when they’re on the site.

We’ve also modified the way you identify yourself on wis.dm. The “username” field is the primary way you’re identified on the site and will be displayed with your avatar (for existing users, your username is defaulted to a combination of the old “first” and “last” name fields). If you’d like to share your real name, just fill out the “profile name” field. Profile name will be displayed with your location when someone views your profile page.

Enjoy the fruits of our Thanksgiving weekend!
