Release 0.4.9

Several updates have taken place in this release. Below is an explanation of the major changes:

Public Ideas - Share your ideas with the world. As always, you can keep your ideas private; however, you now have the option to share thoughts, opinions, and ideas for everyone to see. Other users will be able to comment on your ideas, so that you can hear what they have to say. ManageMyIdeas is the first web application to offer such flexible options for idea sharing - keep them private, share them with selected associates, or publish them for the world to see.

Idea Summary - This new feature allows you to type a brief synopsis of your idea, so that when searching through your idea list you can remember the general concept behind each idea. If your idea is public, then the summary will serve to attract users to click on your idea and view it.

Idea Profile - Each idea now has its own idea profile page. Want to link to your idea from another website or your blog? Each idea profile has a unique and permanent URL. In addition, sharing and commenting are included on the idea profile. For returning users, you may notice that your idea formatting appears different (without any paragraph breaks). Just click the edit button and then hit save - your paragraph breaks will be corrected.

Toolbar - Download our toolbar for your browser (IE or Firefox). The toolbar includes a link for you to enter a new idea, so that whenever you have an idea come to your mind you can record it in ManageMyIdeas. The toolbar also has a feature for you to submit any website you are viewing to your favorite social bookmarks like Del.icio.us, Digg, Furl, and others. Also included is a dropdown tasklist. This post-it note type feature lets you list the things you need to get done. You can color code your tasks for different priorities.

Design - The design of the site is very important to us as it adds to the experience and provides the user interface. As such, we have made and will continue to make changes to the site design to improve usability.

Insert a URL - Now when you type a web address into your idea it will show up as a clickable link.

Brand - In an effort to have a more uniform and unique brand, we have changed the name of our service to ManageMyIdeas. ManageMyIdeas is a place to record and organize your ideas. Keep them private, share them with selected associates, or publish them for the world to see.

Feedback - Your opinions are important to us. Let us know what you think about the design and features of ManageMyIdeas.
