Standing Around

Release 2 is up!

Most visibly, it includes some support for Facebook and Twitter sharing, as well as inserting your Twitter stream straight into personal and troupe pages.

You also now have an option to make your personal or troupe page eligible for the showcase and home page areas. Eligibility is turned off by default, so we don’t accidentally showcase a page that’s not quite up to snuff yet. Look for toggles in the About tabs when you’re logged in.

Enjoy!

We like to carve up our development cycle in two or three week long release. Each release will tackle at least one public feature, and make whatever sorts of improvements in the background that need to happen to keep Standing Room brisk.

Release 2 will involve a little bit of Twitter integration, for those of you who are real junkies. Twitter is a good way to keep your fans and friends in the loop about what you’re up to, and to spread a little bit of free publicity. Free can never be bad, right?

We’re also going to fix a couple annoying interface issues and clarify some elements. Hopefully this will make for a better user experience. The less annoying our site is, the better it is for both fans and artists.

And finally, we’ll have a few video tutorials up to quickly get you going on the site. Though there are instructions on how to use the site placed where users will need them the most, we still realize that reading is a real drag.
