Hey everyone, just a quick note to let you know that we’ve just updated ON’s web interface. A new version of ON for Android will be coming along shortly with lots of new features which we’ll announce here in full in the not-too-distant future.
Here are some of the new features and a few other major improvements:
oAuth for Twitter
ON is now using the Open Authorization standard to link ON accounts to Twitter accounts. It won’t change the way you’re currently using Twitter with ON, but you need to login to ON’s web interface to re-authorize ON to access your Twitter stream. Don’t worry, that’s easy :):
1. Go to lifeisbetteron.com and sign-in with your usual login and password
2. Go on the A.Z list tab and click on Twitter’s logo
3. A Twitter pop-up menu will open, asking for your Twitter username and password
4. Once you have filled in the credentials, click on Allow when you are asked “Allow ON access?” (On will never have access to your personal information’s such as your password)
General improvements:
- on a-z, click on the phone icon, enter your phone number and we will send you a SMS with a link to the Android Market
- use the keyboard to scroll into the lists
- The text on the contact point validation page is now contextual depending on whether you’ve registered of added a new contact point, your contact point (mobile/mail) and your browser
A.Z. list:
- you can now check how your contacts are seeing you and which information (activity, availability, picture and location) you are sharing
- Search is now performed on names, contact points and addresses
- Delete your contact’s picture in “edit contact”
Latest tab:
- You can now see badges on your contact avatars if you have some unread messages coming from them (SMS, chat messages or missed calls)
- in the conversation with a contact, the filters (1to1 | feeds | all) are dynamic and are visible only if you have messages or feeds for them
- SMS coming from ON now get the system avatar
- On a contact card, the URLs shared by your contacts in their activities are clickable in the header of the card
Worlds tab:
- We’ve added a ‘don’t share my place’ option if you want to clean up a place previously broadcasted and long addresses are now correctly displayed
- Shared place accuracy slider now displays the level of the accuracy (street/town/zipcode/state/country)
- Delete the picture you are sharing and select one of the default avatars in ‘edit world’
- Drag and drop contacts from one world to another, they will automatically be moved to the new world and removed from the old one
- Edit saved places
