Build 5: Enhancing discussion and easy linking
Thursday night, mytrade released build 5…and quite frankly we’re pretty pumped up about it. So, let’s cut straight to the chase and look at the new features:
Comments and replies to every profile post: Just click on “x comments in this thread” to go to post URL and discuss via notes. The conversation is threaded and the comments you make here will automatically go to all of your followers in order to encourage expanded discussions.
Shareable URLs for every post: When you click on “x comments in this thread” you will be taken to the thread page for that post…just copy/paste the URL to link to the post in an email, blog, etc.
Link to other people in your notes: Auto-link to mytrade users by putting their full name inside of brackets like this: “Hey [Joe Mazzola] I agree with your analysis”. Just be sure to use the user’s full name in the brackets as it is seen below their picture and the system will create the link automatically.
“Link” pods on your dashboard: “Link” pods together so that changing ticker of one changes ticker of all “linked” pods on that tab. Click “unlinked” at top right of pod to make a pod “linked”. We like to use this to create a “stock lookup” tab where all pods are linked so that with one ticker symbol, you can get the quote, headlines, chart, etc for the entire tab.
Follow/Remove/Block right from the posts: Take a look at the “everyone on mytrade” tab and from here you can single-click to follow someone new. If you are already following someone who is starting to spam or annoy you, a click of the “remove” or “block” button will solve the issue. In build 6 we’ll work on a “block” button for real life encounters :)
