Social pages and more!

If you haven’t read this post yet, you should.  Otherwise, let me explain our latest update in more detail!

Ability to share Chatter via Twitter (Facebook and Google+ coming soon)

First, head over to your SeenTh.at “Settings” page.  As you can see, there’s now a pretty little “Connect to Twitter” button.  Facebook and Google+ integration will follow soon.

Click it and you’ll be asked by Twitter to authorize SeenTh.at.  Do so, and you’ll now have the ability to share your Chatter posts with your Twitter followers.  Here’s how that works.

All Chatter forms (SeenThat, MustSee, Movie Chatter, etc.) now include an “Also Share on:” button so you can share updates on Twitter.

Clicking this button before you submit your Chatter post means that any comment you’ve left on the Chatter post itself will show up in your Twitter feed, along with a URL that points to our “universally-accessible permalinks.”  For example:

If I were to post…

…my Twitter feed would show…

“This was the best movie of the summer! http://seenth.at/chatter/###”

…and clicking that URL would take me to…

…which is what we were referring to as a “universally-accessible permalink” in the previous post.  So what’s that?

Universally-accessible permalinks

UAP’s are pages (as shown above) that are accessible by fans that don’t yet have a SeenTh.at account.  That way you can share the gist of your Chatter post with friends/followers in a beautiful and engaging way (how cool is that backdrop?).  If you’re logged in when looking at one of these pages, you can still use the actions you’re familiar with by hovering over the poster, as well as join the conversation and leave comments as you would in Chatter.  If you’re not logged in, clicking anywhere on the page will prompt you to log in or sign up.

If you’d like to access a UAP on your own at any time, just click the Chatter icon on any Chatter post, and then click “Permalink.”

Improved Chatter-posting interface & simplified site navigation

We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear when it comes to making site navigation and Chatter posting easier, and we think we’ve rolled out a nice improvement with this update.

We consolidated all the different Chatter types into one form that looks like this…

The form fields will update based on the type of Chatter you want to post.  If you’re confused about what each icon means, look to the header for direction.  In order, top to bottom, the Chatter types are: Movie Chatter, Quotes, SeenThat, OwnThat, MustSee, Recommend, and Review.

We also updated the site navigation from…

…to…

Everything you could do before, you can still do, but we’ve compacted it all into one tool bar that sticks to the top of your browser window.  This is important, because it gives you more content on the screen without having to scroll.  Notice too the “Post Activity” button.  Rather than having click to the Chatter feed in order to post an update from the “Post Chatter” dropdown at the top left of Chatter…

…you can post Chatter from anywhere on the site.  If you wish to access your profile or settings, clicking on your avatar brings up those options…

…and notifications work the same as they did previously…

We hope you enjoy the improvements to the site.  If you have any questions or comments, as always, you can email us directly at beta@seenth.at, click on the feedback link on the site, or leave your thoughts here in the comments.

Enjoy!
