Just in time for Halloween: Candy!
October 9, 2008
At ITOG, we have two new additions planned for Halloween. The first is available today: Halloween Candy. (Yes, technically the category includes non-Halloween candy as well, but it’s no coincidence that we added it in October.)
Rate Candy
Toggers can now rate and recommend trick-or-treat classics like M&M’s, 3 Musketeers, and Airheads, and discover some wacky new ones to try like Kinder Happy Hippo, Rowntree’s Fruit Gums, and Bertie Beetle. We added about 800 of them, so there’s plenty to choose from!
Stay tuned for our second Halloween announcement, plus something much, much bigger…
Ratings and reviews for Websites!
September 6, 2008
Last night ITOG.com launched support for websites. This means a selection of websites is now available to rate, review, and discuss. As soon as we build up enough ratings, they’ll start popping up on your recommendations page as well.
Some websites you can now rate on ITOG.com
We’ve got about 2,000 of the most popular sites up, including Facebook, MySpace, Google, and so on, but there’s definitely room to expand. As ever, if we’re missing a site you like, the Suggestion Center is the pace to add it!
Share reviews (and more) with ShareThis
September 1, 2008
Tomorrow we’ll be launching support for ShareThis, a handy little green button that makes it easy to share things you like on ITOG through other sites like Facebook, MySpace, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Digg, Reddit, LiveJournal, and about 40 others.
The screenshots below show the ShareThis button in action.
A discussion with the ShareThis button
Just click the button, and…
After clicking ShareThis
…presto!
Pick the site of your choice, and you’ll instantly be on your way to sharing the discussion, review, or whatever else, with your friends.
As of tomorrow, ShareThis support will be enabled for the following ITOG features:
We’re currently discussing other features that might usefully include ShareThis, including recommendations for togs and pictures (which would be a sort of Recommend It! for external sites).
If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to post them here or in the Suggestion Box!
ITOG 1.0
September 1, 2008
Greetings, folks!
ITOG founder Richard Feldman here. Now that version 1.0 of the site is up, we’re ready to start making improvements. The ITOG Blog will be the place to watch for updates on anything from planned updates to discussions on what we ought to do.
There are lots of exciting new features in the pipeline–not to mention improvements to existing features that will make it easier than ever to get your daily dose of ITOG-flavored reviews and recommendations–and we want to let you to know about them first!
We plan to host the blog on WordPress for a good long while, as our development time will be better-spent improving ITOG.com rather than creating blogging features that would let you post to this blog using your ITOG account. We may well migrate it over someday, but for now, I’d suggest signing up for a WordPress account if you want to respond to any of these posts.
Enjoy!
