New features: Follow an interesting group

So we add new features and tweak the design of our site all the time, but one of the features that went live this week seems big enough to warrant a post. It's now possible for a user to follow a group, publicly or privately, and to get updates in their personal newsletters whenever that group announces a new flock.

We sign people up to follow a group automatically when they attend one of their flock's, but it's easy to stop following a group. And if you do, we'll never sign you up to it again, no matter how many Flocks you attend. You can change your preferences from the group page itself or from the “Groups” tab on your user profile.

This feature isn't to say that a person is committed to a group, or that they will definitely attend future flocks – just to say they are interested in that group and may want to know more. As always, comments on this and other features are welcome!

Screencast of our website's features

I had to make a screencast of Flocklocal's features, as I wont be able to present at the final round of the John Logie Baird competition in person. We thought we may as well share it - Read more to see it.

MakeAftonWaterProsperScheme

The heart of Aul' New Cumnock is the sweet Afton Water: the river; its banks, its paths and its bridges. It needs attention in order for it to be a place people want to visit, sit and walk beside it. Litter free with well maintained paths from the Nith all the way to its source beyond the Afton reservoir.
