Although we keep improving BlooSee on a regular basis, this time we’re letting you know about a series of features that will ease the exchange of geo-located information on our platform.
Sharing
You’ll notice the new Twitter and Facebook buttons for the infopoints, both on the map info balloon (under the “Share” drop down) and on the detail view. These, together with the “Share URL” will allow you to share information found on BlooSee on other platforms, send it by email, or use it on blogs or personal pages. Each infopoint has a unique URL you can now easily get, to link to it from any other site. So if if you want others to know about your favorite anchorage, a great diving spot, or a fun bar by the ocean, you have the tools to do it easily now. They’ll be directed to the global chart, and the data for the infopoint will pop up.
Been there, liked that
Another great thing we’ve included lately is the ability to check those places you’ve been to, and those that you like. At the click of a button you can easily create your own list of visited places, which will be added to your user profile so that others know. And the like button will let you mark those particular places you prefer (even if you’ve never been there but dream to!).
We’ll soon update the notifications system so that you know when others “like” the infopoints you’ve created, and we’ll re-do the user detail pages so that the displayed information shows all that in a clearer way. We’re working on it.
And we’re working on a few more exciting things, but we’ll let you know about those on our next update.
