So there will be plenty of businesses missing from our database. We do try our hardest to keep on track of this. So to help us out we’ve added “Add a business” function. At the minute its at the bottom of every search results page. We will be adding it to no-results and other pages within the next few days. I’ve created a demo video of me adding a business. See below.

You also have the choice of reviewing the business at the same time you add the details. You only have to enter minimal details for the business. So if you don’t know things like post codes, don’t worry because we double check everything added.

So if a friend writes a new review (or various other things) you will be notified instantly on your Friends Feed. We will also be sending out a daily email at the start of each day informing you of the previous days friends activity. Sometime in the next few weeks we will also be releasing email notifications so you can turn these emails off (if you like).

I’ve attached a screen-shot of the friends feed below. Alternatively just log into your user account here and see it in action.

Preview of Friends Feed

Well i guess we’re not making things very clear. So in the next few days we will be adding a welcome note to users login section. The note (in the form of a popup) will appear when you login (see image below). We will also be including a tick box so you don’t have to keep seeing the message. We’re hoping this will help users in finding the correct path, once they’ve signed up.

Hello and welcome to your user section

In the next coming weeks a member of the GoMy team will also be releasing some news about various give-aways / competitions we have lined up for users of the site.

First off we’ve been busy putting together our “Chit Chat” section. This will be a cross between a Twitter feed and the Wall section on Facebook, for those familiar. For those of you not familiar it’s basically a section where you can inform your friends on GoMy what your up-to or you can post on your friends Chit Chat and have a less formal kind of conversation. i.e. what you up to over the weekend, that kind of thing. I’ve added a sneaky picture at the bottom so you can have a look what its like.

Other advances we are working at the minute:

• List’s – This will allow users to create and share list’s of their favourite restaurants, bars, stores etc etc.
• Email Notifications – We feel it would be nice for each user to have total control over which emails they want to receive from GoMy.

Along with the new things mentioned above, we will also be working on fixing any other outstanding problems and also working on speed issues. I would like to thank everyone who’s signed up for a user account and had a look around the site and a special thanks for those who’ve reported any errors / problems. We really appreciate your patience, while the site is still in beta.

The up and coming GoMy Chit Chat - Coming very very soon kids

• Site performance. Speed Speed Speed. We know things are not lightning quick, but don’t worry it will be soon enough.
• The search results. We’ve still got tweek’s to do on the results, to deliver better and more relevant searches. This will always be ongoing.
• Mapping function. Same again something we will always be working on.

I’ll be adding another post in about a day or so regarding new features we have planned for users. For now it would be great if you could have a look around the site and let us know what you think.

If you have some time maybe add a review or 10 and if you come across any minor problems then it would be appreciated if you could report them here

Let’s hope our launch goes better than these guys.
