Activity Feed updates by e-mail
Hello Pioneer WikiTreers,
Progress continues apace. Cosmetically speaking, we’ve got a new logo. Ain’t it schnazzy?
Along with the new logo comes a new tagline. Instead of “WikiTree: Collaborative family history” I’m trying out “WikiTree: World history that grows from you.” What do you think?
I wanted to find a way to emphasize that family history is really just the beginning. We start by growing profiles for the people, places, and things that are most important to us. But it doesn’t stop there. Strangers will care about some of the same people, places, and things. As it grows, WikiTree will become an interconnected, collaborative world history resource. It will be valuable for future generations and historians alike.
If you have comments on the new logo or tagline let me know.
The technical back-end continues to improve as well. One significant improvement I wanted to mention are the Activity Feeds by e-mail. Now you don’t need to check to the site to see if any of your family or friends have made changes. If somebody edits a biography, uploads a photo, posts a message, etc., you’ll hear about it in your Activity Feed update.
The updates only come once a week, and they only come if there’s been new activity in your Watchlist. I know everybody gets overloaded with e-mail so hopefully that strikes the right balance.
Keep me posted here or via e-mail with your questions and suggestions.
Onward and upward,
Chris
