Rypple Feature Sale – 3 for the Price of 1!
~ March 16th, 2009At Rypple we pride ourselves on being able to deliver piping hot features to your door in 30 minutes or less! In fact, it’s not uncommon for me to be chatting about a feature with one of our users one day, and have that feature live in Rypple less than a week later (did I mention that new features are released at least EVERY WEEK?). Hey, if we hear of a feature that we feel most of our users will find valuable…we think there is no time like the present to make it happen!
Still, every now and then a feature comes along that significantly expands the way people can use Rypple to get valuable feedback…and as luck would have it, I have THREE such features to share with you today, so read on!
1. Feedback URL
What it is: Feedback URL provides the ability to request feedback from a group of advisers by simply directing them to a specific URL which contains your question (i.e. no need to know their email addresses).
Why the heck would I use it?: Its easy to ask for feedback by sending a Rypple via email…but, sometimes you just don’t know the addresses of the people you want feedback from! For example, when you give a a large presentation at a conference or webinar to a large audience and want to get their feedback. Or, you’d like some feedback from anyone with access to your website, blog, or even Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter page.
Awesome! Tell me how to use it!: Easy! When composing your feedback request, simply select the “You post or send a URL” option from the How do you want to ask section. Once you click the “Create Feedback Request” button, your unique URL button will be displayed (you can always retrieve your URL by navigating to the question you asked under the Review my Feedback page).
But we’re not done yet! Soon you’ll be able to make the URLs Rypple provides even more personal and easier to use! e.g. www.rypple.com/dpriemer/my_feedback.
P.S. – want to suggest a hip, catchy name for this feature? We want to hear it! Click HERE to have your say.
2. Suggested Questions
What it is: a forum of top rated questions submitted by Rypple users just like you, categorized by key attributes
Why the heck would I use it?: Does this sound familiar:
“I want to get feedback on [INSERT TOPIC HERE] but I’m not quite sure what to ask?”
We at Rypple completely appreciate the importance of asking a good, focused question and this is your cure for question-block! Get access to dozens of questions suggested by other users and feedback gurus! Want to know what types of questions people are asking around leadership, teamwork, or communication skills? Look no further!
Awesome! Tell me how to use it!: Just click on the Suggested Questions link in the header (or the Help me find a good question link on the Get Feedback page).
Like a question? Vote it up by clicking the voting buttons next to the question.
Want to ask that question yourself? Just click the text of the question to populate it in the Get Feedback form.
Want to know more about the person who suggested it? Just click on the user’s picture to see.
Want to add your own question to the list? Coming VERY soon, so stay tuned!
3. Facebook Connect
Austin Tam, one of our star developers, already wrote a great blog post on this feature so check it out HERE.
What it is: a super-easy way to setup and login to your Rypple account using your Facebook credentials!
Why the heck would I use it?: First off, it’s an easy way to get started using Rypple. Just click, and go! Very soon you’ll be able to request Rypple feedback directly from your Facebook friends and even post your Rypple’s to your Facebook feed if you choose!
Awesome! Tell me how to use it!: Just click the Facebook Connect button on the sign-up or login pages. If you’re a new user, a Rypple account will be created for you using your Facebook credentials. If you’re an existing user and the email address you use in Rypple is one of the email addresses you’ve specified in Facebook, your existing Rypple account will be linked.
So are we done yet? Absolutely NOT! We’re going to continue to listen to you and refine these features quickly, but to do that, we REALLY NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!
