New features, new photos

In the ongoing effort to make sure myJambi serves you better, the team has rolled out a new set of features that you may or may not have noticed, but will certainly appreciate.

The first feature is an aesthetic one. You've always had the option to upload a photo when posting an offer or a want. And if you had a profile photo, it would simply default to that one. If you didn't have a profile photo, it would default to a generic silhouette. Now don't get me wrong, I love that silhouette with its gray and orange blocks of color as much as the next person, but it doesn't really say much about your want or offer. Now in this same situation, one of myJambi's snazzy default photos will show up. From a pair of clasped hand representing child & elderly care to colorful paint jars representing creative pursuits, the pictures are a great way to spice up your want or offer and let people know immediately what category your want/offer is in. It's just one more way we help give you a professional looking page without you having to do all that much.

The next two features have to do with the invite your friends & Get Endorsed functions. You may have noticed that when you invited a friend, you had to add them as a friend after they joined myJambi. Now when you invite someone, when they sign up, they are automatically added to your friend list. This saves valuable time that you could be spending looking for work on myJambi. Also, your invitation will from now on include a list of your offers and wants. Ensuring that your friends will know what you can do and what you need done immediately upon receiving the invite.

That's it for this week's new features. Check back for more in the next few weeks. Also, remember to keep the myJambi team posted on any problems or suggestions you have by clicking on the Jambi icon on the lower right-hand side of your screen. Your suggestions fuel the new features and make sure the site runs smoothly.
