Socialcast

It’s cold and rainy today in Irvine, but that didn’t stop the dedicated Socialcast team from celebrating a once in a lifetime event – 1234567890.

As I write this post, we’re all enjoying some chocolate goodness to commemorate Sequential Epoch Time – exactly 1234567890 seconds from the birth of Unix on January 1, 1970. It was a brief celebration – one second, to be exact - but the anticipation for the event lasted all day.

Thanks to Sean for bringing in the customized cake, and for keeping us informed of how much more time we had until we could cut it. And, thanks to the grocery store cake girl who, without question, wrote out 1234567890 in perfectly neat little red numbers.

On a side note, it’s ironic that none of the Socialcast team members were even around in 1970…

We’re always interested in what users have to say.  Unfortunately, we haven’t had a very straightforward way for users to give us feedback…until TODAY!  We’ve now added a convenient feedback link to the footer of every page.

You’re now just seconds away from sending your feedback our way and we want to hear it all.  What do you like best about Socialcast?  What features would you like to see?  Do you have a question or see something that looks broken?  Let us know.

We’ll be actively monitoring and responding to any feedback we receive, so consider this an open invitation to let your voice be heard.

Keeping up to date on the happenings within your Socialcast community has never been easier now that we have officially released RSS/Atom feeds for all Socialcast communities.  Are you new to the RSS craze?  Checkout this video for an intro on how Socialcast feeds can provide an easy and effective way to catch up on activity while you were away.  This is especially useful for teams that are distributed or have different work schedules.  There are feeds available for your connections stream or for the entire site.

All of the rich media content from your Socialcast site is also available within your feed. File attachments, images, and even Youtube videos are embedded into each message.

Socialcast feeds are compatible with any RSS Reader, including popular online news readers such as Google Reader or Bloglines. All modern browsers should automatically detect the feed when you browse the stream, but you can manually subscribe to your Socialcast Activity Stream by using the convenient link at the bottom of each page.

As always, please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions for improvements.  Stay tuned as we’ll soon be announcing some exciting features that will allow you to customize your feeds to your hearts delight…
