new-features in All of The Pool

We have a new release of GroupSwim on tap for everyone!   Our focus was a big upgrade to our semantic tagging capabilities.   What does that mean?   We made tag suggestions a lot smarter.  You will see much better tag results with email-in, posting, search, and browsing tags by topic.   In addition, we exposed a way for community owners and managers to train the tagging engine. This allows you to guide the suggested tags based on the unique terminology your community might utilize.  Using the tag-training feature, you can significantly enhance the value of your community and the knowledge it develops.

Everyone here at GroupSwim has been burning the midnight oil to deliver something special for the holidays.  What’s new?  The much-requested (and killer) automatic tagging and “email-in” capabilities, plus a bunch of other cool upgrades. We can’t wait to hear everyone’s feedback.   Enjoy!

The Highlights:

• Automatic tagging of all new discussions and replies – check out the tags as you type!
• Em...

Whoa, this is a big one - we’ve just rolled out a major release of GroupSwim with a ton of new features! This is a very exciting release as it greatly expands your ability to enhance visibility and information about your fellow community members, easily discover quality community content and brand your community.

The Highlights:

• Public sites:  You can now create a public version of your site with guest access.  You can switch your site to public or private at any time.  When a site is public, anyone can read but guests must register to contribute.

We rolled a new release of GroupSwim on Friday!  You may have noticed a few changes here and there - like  crossed out discussions disappearing for good (we got the message).  While our primary focus was tuning and maintenance, we did slip a few extras in for good measure.    See below for an overview of the latest and greatest, and, as always please keep the feedback coming.  

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, we have some great stuff coming soon.   We've been listening to all the feedback and you will soon see an improved search, revised home pages,  visual browsing of members plus, of course, a few surprises.

Greetings!

Things have been busy here at GroupSwim trying to keep up with all the feature requests.    In case you haven't noticed,  a new version of GroupSwim was released today adding a whole new set of requested features to the mix.    This is our most ambitious release to date and we are very excited to showcase some very cool stuff.   This release focused on three long requested features:   File attachments, the ability to edit and delete discussions and replies, and a new, participation-based content scoring model.

A new GroupSwim release has been served over Labor Day Holiday!   We have added a whole slew of new features to make it easier to administer and use your GroupSwim Group site.   See below for a overview of the latest release of GroupSwim. 

- Enjoy,  Mike and the GroupSwim team

New features for Group site Owners and Managers

• Single sign-on:  have another website or internal system you would like to interface with GroupSwim?   We now have a slick single sign-on capability.  To request an API key, 

Keeping with our weekly update schedule you may have noticed a few updates to GroupSwim.   As usual we made a few more performance enhancements and fixed several lurking bugs.  In addition to the basics, we did the following:

1. Sign-in/Sign-out:  We extended the length of time you can remain signed-in to 2 weeks.  This should help reduce some of the sign-in issues we have been hearing about.
2. Adding URL's to a post.  We made it a lot easier to insert URL's into your post with a new tool-bar button for inserting and removing URL's.   Give it a try, its on every post form.

We have been very busy and just rolled out a new release of GroupSwim.

Some cool new features to check out:

• New email settings.  You can now receive an email notification for every post and every reply.  To setup:  click on your name, select your Account settings, and select email settings.  Please note:  this setting is specific to each group site.
• Tag clouds:  We totally tuned up the algorithms behind our tag clouds.  They should be much cleaner with a lot less redundant tags.  Try them out and let us know what you think.
