Today we’re launching a huge new redesign for SocialToo where we’re even further continuing our focus to clean up your stream and build better features to help you manage the social networks you belong to. With an entirely new architecture, new design, and lots of new features, we hope you’ll like this one.
New Design
We enlisted the help of Rebecca Servoss, designer of TodaysMama.com, and talented Graphic Designer, to help us every step of the way through this new design. You’ll notice a much more appealing interface, easier to navigate design, and you’ll notice your settings are right there, front and center for you to change. From the Inbox to the Surveys and more, you’ll notice a much more fluid experience as you navigate the site. We hope you’ll spend more time there as your main source to manage the DMs you receive, as well as browse the surveys your friends create.
Filtered Personal Messaging Interface
We’re starting with your Twitter DMs and the SocialToo Surveys your friends create, but you can expect much more here in the future. Immediately, you’ll notice all your dms in one, nicely formatted UI. The best part of it all is if you have created a DM filter or two, spammy DMs that meet your filtering requirements will never appear here! You can always go back to your Spam folder and see the spammy DMs there. Also, any DM you delete from the SocialToo User Interface will be removed from your main Inbox, but we keep a trash folder as well, so in reality, while it may be gone from Twitter forever, you can always go back later and access it again.
From each DM in your Inbox, you can mark any one of them as spam or auto-dm, and we’ll take appropriate measures to keep similar dms appearing there in the future. We’ll also unfollow those users as you mark them as such. You can block the DM sender as well, or delete it right there.
If you want to reply to a DM, just hit the “reply” link underneath the DM in your inbox. Your response will be logged underneath the DM you responded to – this makes it easier to tell if you responded to the DM or not, and organizes the conversation a little better.
Friend Surveys
Now, in addition to being able to create surveys, take them, and also view them in the new user interface we just launched for SocialToo Surveys, you can now view a full stream of all the surveys your friends have created. If you’ve logged in through Twitter or Facebook before, we automatically detect all your friends from those networks that are SocialToo users, and their surveys appear right there. Don’t have anyone appearing? Invite them to use SocialToo and create some surveys!
In addition to viewing your friends’ surveys, you can, as before, view all the surveys of individual users on SocialToo, comment on the surveys, as well as easily share them on your favorite networks such as Twitter and Facebook. Polling your friends and fans on the Social Networks you belong to has never been easier!
Whitelisting
We have always had whitelisting on SocialToo, but, we’ll be first to admit the previous design was a little tough to deal with. Now, if you click on the “Friends” tab, you’ll see a newly revamped whitelist where you can add any of your friends and immediately guarantee they won’t be unfollowed as you filter your dms. Occasionally even your closest friends can send spammy messages, but adding them to your whitelist ensures they will never be unfollowed. Or, perhaps you want to run the bulk unfollow tool and there are a few you don’t want to unfollow. Just add those to your whitelist, and everyone but those friends will be unfollowed. We think this feature is very useful!
Log in, Check it out!
These new features, and the new design are available starting today! Please log in, check it out if you haven’t been around in awhile. See what you’ve been missing. Subscribe to the daily e-mail stats if you get a chance, or maybe you just want to unfollow all your friends because you previously had auto follow on. Most of all, create some DMs filters, clean up your stream, and enjoy the new interface to manage the DMs you receive on Twitter. Play around with the new features and let us know what you think! It’s all new, so we always expect a few quirks at first – please let us know if you have any issues by e-mailing us at contact@socialtoo.com.
See you on the new interface! I can’t wait to see some of the new Surveys you create, as well as hear some of your feedback as you navigate your new inboxes and the new way to manage your DMs.
