HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello there & Happy New Year from the Pick-Me team. As most people usually start a new year from anew, we thought we’d do the same thing, but we thought we’d see what YOU, our visitors thought to our plans.

We were thinking of deleting both HOSTS and HOSTEE listings from the database and allow you to sign up again if you are still either looking for hosting or offering hosting, as we think that most of our listings on Pick-Me are outdated and irrelevant.

Because deleting everything from the database has a HUGE impact on our website, we wanted to see what you think we should do.

We’ve thought of a fewoptions we could take:

To delete all listing HOSTS and HOSTEES
To delete HOSTS listings
to delete HOSTEE listings
Mass email all HOSTS and HOSTEES listed on the database asking if they want to stay listed. Any who has not replied within a certain timeframe will be deleted and notified of this.
You can have your say in our online poll at http://pick-me.net/poll/
Hurry though, the online poll closes at 00:00 on January 10 2010 !

The New Pick-Me!


Cuppa TeaAs you can see from the picture to the left of this email, we’re having a well deserved cup of tea, as we’ve just uploaded the new design version of Pick-Me.net!!

We could have cracked open a nice bottle of bubbily, but someone forgot to buy some from the store, so we’ve settled for a nice cup of tea (and a few biscuits – not pictured!!)

The new design of Pick-Me includes some cosmetic fixes, and we’ve also re-worked some coding, for example, the hostee listings have been reworked to include some coding that previously wasn’t included on the site. The Hosts listings have also been recoded too.

If you have not already been to visit Pick-Me since we uploaded the new design today (Sunday 20 September) then we thoroughly suggest that you head on over to Pick-Me today to see what you’re missing out on!! Header www.pick-me.net

The Future of Pick-Me!

The current Pick-Me site (the newly designed one) we are calling internally as “PM v2.0″. We’re already planning the release of “PM v3.0″ which will be entirely recoded and additional features adding. Some of the features in the pipeline are:

  • improved listing criterias
  • ability to search certain criterias from hosts/hostee listings
  • ability to message host/hostee via the website
  • ability to easily remove listings
  • integrated login with the forums and listing edits
  • and much more ideas in the pipeline

The features above are all planned, and we’ll be working hard over the next coming months to make ‘PM v3.0″ the bestest Pick-Me version for miles around.

If you have any suggestions that you’d live to see in version 3.0 of Pick-Me, please let us know either by contacting us, or leaving a thread on the message boards in the Bright-Sparks forum.
