Dashboard Announcements: A New Way to Stay Informed About Ning Product Details

[Eric Suesz]

I am thrilled — thrilled! — to announce a new detail that you will begin to notice today on your Dashboard: Ning Announcements. This list of the most recent Announcement discussions from the Creators Forum will let you know at-a-glance what we are working on, as well as provide you with important updates regarding the health of the Ning Platform, contests we're running, beta programs we're starting, feedback we'd like you to provide, etc.  

Although quite simple in its execution, I think this will be an incredibly useful way for Network Creators to stay informed. Both our most active NCs on the Creators Network and NCs who aren't members of Creators have told us that they want more information, and this is a great way to connect and communicate with all of our customers. 

Right now, this is set up to simply show the four most recent Announcements on Creators, but we are always looking for ways to improve this space and will undoubtedly do so as we move forward through 2011.

Being connected to the Mothership with one glance after logging on.

Now that is way cool!

Psylord said it best in how I relate to this new improvement:

"This way, we are able to have it right on the admin panel, so we don't need to lift a finger."

I am just curious if we could use this feature on our network as well.

How would you envision using this on your network, Tierata? This is visible to NCs and Admins, but not members. Note that you can currently use RSS feeds on your network.

I don't see NING announcements in my dashboard.  Is this something that takes time to populate to all of the PLUS and PRO customers?

[Eric Suesz]

You might want to look again. This appears on all dashboards for NCs and Admins.

[Donna Mac]

Oh DUH...right in front of my face.  I was looking at the drop down menu....geez.  Thanks.

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just a trifle confused. I thought there was an Announcements section there all along!!! Or was it "Alerts?" And how are they different?
