New feature: Tagging (and a new nav bar too!)
I’ve been working on a lot of stuff under the radar, but today I’m happy to release a couple major(ish) new features and upgrades to Memiary.
Firstly, say hello to #hashtags. #You #use #them #with #Twitter, #and #now #you #can #use #them #with #Memiary.
Here’s how they work: you can include #hashtags anywhere in your memory — like “#work Went to product meeting.” — and this will allow you to browse through your memories by #hashtags either clicking on the tag itself (love how it instantly becomes clickable?), navigating to memiary.com/tag/whatever, or using the top nav to navigate to your tag cloud at memiary.com/tags (browse -> by tags).
Why would want to use them? Categorizing (“#work”), remembering and bookmarking (“#specialday”), moods and feelings (“#happy”), travel (“#france2008”), special events (“#olympics2008”), etc. etc. Basically, it’s going to make your memorable memories even more memorable by allowing you to associate them with a particular feeling or category or thing rather than just a date in time.
Secondly, a new top nav bar is in town!
I’ve always thought there was something lacking in Memiary’s information architecture (i.e. navigation), so I spent the last few days trying new solutions and came up with the nav bar you’ll see in top-right (near the logout link). Here’s its structure:
- record
- today
- yesterday
- 18 month year
- 17 month year
- browse
- by timeframe
- by date
- by tags
- settings
I think it adds a lot of flavor and clarity to Memiary’s purpose, features, and structure.
As always, I am craving for a complement or a put-down. Please drop me a line at feedback@memiary.com and let me know what you think!
