We’re happy to announce the launch of the new and improved Noisetap.com. Noisetap—an online music community featuring user-generated content, reviews and news—has become one of our favorite projects here at Cottonblend Headquarters. We wanted to make the site even better, and that’s what we’ve done. New features include:
- “Send to a Friend” option that allows you to send a post link directly to your friends
- New categories (with new animal icons!) including Jazz, Classical and General
- “Related Artists” feature that allows you to tag your post with artist names the post mentions
- General layout redesign: top users are now listed right on the homepage
Tech-savvy folks (a.k.a. geeks) may wish to know we’ve spiffed up our operations behind the scenes. Highlights include:
- New ranking algorithm that rewards users more accurately for their activity
- Strategic content caching to enhance performance
- Better session management
- Strong cookie encryption
- Bookmarklet availability for easy posting on Noisetap
- Native UTF-8 unicode supported for all posts, features, reviews and comments
- General API enhancements
Please hop on over to Noisetap.com, admire the new digs, and post a story or two while you’re there.
(Please note: No animals were harmed in the making of this blog post. Thank you.)
