We’re Back, New Features in Hand!

We know it’s been awhile, but never fear, we haven’t been slacking off. There’s been so much to do and so much we wanted to tell you, and now we finally can.

First up, our absolute favorite change. If you’re like us, and we know you are, you don’t want to enter the CAPTCHA code—the often eye-crossingly squiggly letters that you’re prompted to enter every. Time. You. Submit. Something. And now you won’t have to! As long as you’re logged in and behaving yourself, you won’t have to keep entering the code. But if you do something bad, that CAPTCHA will be back(cha)!

Some other changes:

• Alerts: Ever get surprised by finding a new mixxer has decided to follow you? Missed the latest submission to your private group? No more surprises. We’re launching email alerts so you’ll get some email when someone friends you, comments on something you’ve submitted, submits something to your private group, etc. Don’t want to get any mail? No problem. Just turn off the emails in the “Your Account” area.
• Videos: No more wondering if someone is just submitting the same video under different titles! You’ll now find thumbnails for all videos from Metacafe and YouTube.
• World Locations: We’ll always have Paris—and this time we mean the one in France. (Unless you wanted Paris, Texas, of course.) Now when you submit content from around the world, our Global Locater will give you more options than you ever knew you had.
• Invites: Sure, you can fire up your email, and take the time to write an email to tell your friends about the great stuff you found on Mixx, but that takes time and who has time? Mixx is all about saving time—saving time to find the good stuff on topics of interest, and now, saving time to invite your friends to join you in the Mixx. Just click the Invite link in the upper right!
• Vote Counts: In the old days (last week), if you voted on a story that was listed in multiple categories, the vote count would reflect on the votes cast in that category. Starting today, you’ll see the total votes the story received, forever and always.

Well, that’s all we can tell you about right now, but there is more exciting news on the way—so check back soon!
