Postcrossing Blog

Over the past weeks we have received a lot of feedback from the Postcrossing members for what kind of statistics they would like to see. While we can’t possible implement everything that was requested (or the system would be too complex to both use and make) we collected what were the most requested items and started working on it.

Today I’m happy to announce that we have the new user statistics ready for you to give it a try! Each account has its own personal statistics that reflect its account data.

You can access your own stats using the left menu on 'My stats’. Please keep in mind this is work in progress so if you find any problems, be sure to tell us so we can fix it as soon as possible.

As usual, please let us know what you think!

We have been quite busy lately with tweaks and improvements to Postcrossing! Here are some of the things we are excited about:

Twitter integration

If you have a twitter.com account, this feature is for you! Postcrossing can now automatically publish your events (for instance, when you send or register a postcard) to your twitter stream. And it’s really easy to setup!

More stats

Do you like statistics? We have been improving these, adding more graphics and information to the stats page. Let us know what else you would like to see in there.

Improved invite friends

Have many friends that might like Postcrossing? Too hard to remember all of their cryptic email addresses? No problem! Now it’s much simpler to invite friends in Postcrossing because you can import your contacts from your Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail and MSN accounts easily. We have used the latest technology available to make it really safe, so you don’t have to give us your email account username and password. Give it a try to see what we mean.

And many more to come! We know you have suggestions for changes and improvements for the project and we’d love to hear them – while we can’t promise to do all of them, we will certainly look into it so give us a shout!
