The whole ‘memory entering’ process of Memiary has now been revamped and rewritten in AJAX. What do this mean for you? A few things:
- You can now enter up to 160 characters, as opposed to the previous 40, which was admittedly a little ridiculous.
- After something is entered (literally, or the green tick is clicked on), it automatically jumps to the next textbox! Small, but ‘click-saving’ addition.
- It’s generally much faster and more awesome. You feel it when you use it.
TRY IT OUT.
Some changes in the pipeline? RSS feeds, ‘midnight offset by X hours’, ability to add to past days, and XML/CSV data export. It’s an exciting ride. Keep your feedback coming!

You can now sign up with a username instead of an e-mail address. Two reasons converged to enable this:
- first, since e-mail activation is not required anymore, having it mandatory would be stupid.
- second, to prepare for the ‘public diaries’ feature, which is in the pipelines and will enable you to publicize your diary so that it is accessible by anyone via memiary.com/user/yourusername (you will of course be able to set specific items as private, and it will be ‘opt-in’).
Overall, super excited about the progress with Memiary and where it’s heading. Oh, and also, check out some press we got at this great site called Rev2.org. Totally unbiased, infact, the most unbiased article I have ever read.

Memiary now supports your timezone. This was one thing I missed while building it, and it caused people to wonder, ‘is my clock wrong?’. When you login to Memiary now, it should automatically pick up your system date and work along with it.
Travel a lot? You’ll be writing in the visiting country’s time, not your own. This means when you look back at stuff, you’ll know what you did on that day where you visited, not what you were doing while it was the previous or next day in your home country.

Since launching, a lot of reports were received about the activation e-mail going into the spam folder. I can’t change Gmail’s spam filters, but there are some things I can change, so no more activation is required (but shhh, don’t tell the spammers!)
The lurker is now only a password away from being transformed to Memiary.

One day after launch, and the name ‘Memiary’ occured to me. It’s a play on ‘me’ + ‘memory’ + ‘diary’, which fits more to the service and its purpose. It’s also much easier to say and spread. After asking a few people, I concluded it’s never too late to change a name. Or early. Update your bookmarks!
