A brand new FunAdvice in the works

Few people know this, but in April, 2006, our designer came up with the look & feel you see on FunAdvice.com today.

However, because FunAdvice is a hobby for us (we all have day jobs) it took us until September to relaunch the site with the new design, new features & functionality.

Well, today, I was looking at a mock up of a new page design from December, and didn't realize until today that we've had that redesign for almost four months now. Since last time, it took five months to go from new design to relaunch, that means we must be about a month away from launching the design's we're working on.

It involves a lot of discussion & analysis of what people are doing on the site, what you like / dislike about what we're doing, and how we can make the site better for those that enjoy it the most. Redesign is a tricky process.

And, we have a list of things we'd like to enable you to do. Add comments to photos, rate photos, do more than just see yourself in your area:
members in cupertino of which, I'm the only one (lol) despite there being loads of people on the site from nearby areas such as San Jose, San Mateo, etc.

So for the "geo" page as we call it, we want to see who else is near, what they're interested in, what photos they might have added. We think it's a "good" idea. What about you?

Are there any "must have" features we're missing from the site? Would you like to preview the beta version in two weeks to see what it's like? Let us know by using our contact form if you're interested.
