A few Awesome features for Autumn

Over the last couple weeks we've been making changes to give you the ability to more easily create offers and wants and to more easily find content on myJambi. This is just a first step--in the coming weeks we will be retooling your home and profile and providing a more user-friendly browse view. But enough with what's coming down the road, let's tell you a bit about some of the changes that you can already take full advantage of...

We heard you asking for easier ways to see all the services people are offering or wanting in any given location and took a first step in that direction by adding "ALL OFFERS" and "ALL WANTS" links to the main browse pages.


So you now can see all those talented providers who are near you or scroll through all the jobs that are currently being sought on myJambi.


In addition to providing you with easier ways to find content, we also wanted to help you create content. With the new create widget (which is at the top of all your offers and wants, as well as your profile and home), you can just start typing the name of the service you want to list and an auto-complete list will pop down to help you appropriately categorize the service.


Need some inspiration? You can now try out our new "All Categories" page and see all the possible categories that one can choose from on myJambi. After we launched the widget and this new page, I randomly stumbled upon the wine instructor category browsing through all the categories. I had completely forgotten about it and am looking forward to posting a want for an instructor in the near future.


And before I conclude and give you a chance to try out some of these tools (if you haven't already), the other thing we added to the create widget and that I want to be sure to highlight is the "Availability" tab. As its name suggests, this will make it even easier for you to update your calendar on myJambi to more efficiently tell potential clients when you might be free any given week.


Enjoy and, as always, don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions, feature requests, or feedback!
