Day two of our homepage marathon.

Spent some time last night reading all of the comments we received on the homepage poll. Most of you loved it. Some thought it was a bit too busy. We suspect it appears busier than it actually is in the screenshot: the actual design is much bigger, and will spread across your entire screen. At least that’s the opinion of our design guru:

Today I want to write a bit about one of the most exciting elements of our new homepage: the “Your Feeds” section.

Appearing only when a user is logged into the site, and taking the center stage of the new homepage, is a new feed box that will hopefully revolutionize the way you use Pollsb.

It looks something like this (click on the image to enlarge):

The feed box will make it easier to stay on top of everything that’s going on with the site. It’ll notify you whenever someone replies to a comment you made or commented on your polls or on your user page. It’ll let you know when friends of yours post new polls, or vote. It’ll update you on votes your polls are getting, and even send you a notice when a friend of yours adds someone as a friend.

We hope this box will become the first thing you look at, when you log into pollsb, and we designed it to match with lots of feedback we received on our current activity section. As usual, we’d love to get your opinion on this new feature, so just comment here, or send feedback a message on the site. We appreciate it.
