We just finished rolling out 2 sweet new features that we think you’ll like.

The first is the ability to see which other people are currently online. Throughout the site, wherever you see the polaroid thumbnail, the word online will appear if that person is logged in and currently using the site. We are striving to make the site as “real-time” as possible and this feature is another big step in that direction.

The second is the ability to carry on conversations with other people. You can write messages to other people and they can write back to you. All of your messages are stored and displayed on your profile (people can also leave new messages there). If you click Follow this conversation, the back-and-forth messages shared between any 2 people will be displayed. If you leave a message for yourself then it will be added to your Inner Monologue. A little tricky to explain but if you just click around a bit, I think you’ll get the gist.

If you already have an account, click here to see your messages. Let us know what you think!
