New FEATURES on Shred or Die

Hey Shred or Die users, we just did a big release with a bunch of significant features. Here’s a list of the major ones:

• Import your address book from Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail—go into your address book in your profile to access this.

• Profile page customization: In addition to choosing a profile theme, you can now customize that theme with custom colors and images using a snappy little color picker. Click the Advanced link when you are editing your profile to bring up the menu.

• Better events featuring rich text descriptions, photos and links, and now you can map the location of your event using Google Maps! Also we are displaying your comments and the form underneath the event in case your fans want to comment on it.

• Autoplay can be turned off now for web series & playlists—you’ll see a little checkbox over the “SHARE” button in the player. This should help you comment and vote without worrying the next video will load before you’re finished.

• New Digg tab next to related videos on the videos page; see which Shred or Die videos are on Digg right now! Digging the videos in the “upcoming” category will propel them to Popular, which is a very good thing in the Diggiverse. But whether you Digg these videos or not, it’s an ever-updating list of what other people think is great on Shred or Die for you to enjoy and use to find great videos.

• You can now save drafts of blog posts to preview them or publish at a later time, and now your blog posts will show up in your subscribers’ feeds.

Nice, right?
