New Feature Alert: Posts are live!

We quietly released our post system yesterday. Functionally, the posts system was built to replace subscriber messaging, which wasn’t really meeting the needs of our growing user base. It is intended to serve as an easy way for GameWisp channels to communicate with their subscribers. Additionally, you can restrict who can view a Post based on a list of individual benefits, this means you can use the post system to deliver specific rewards to a subset of your subscribers that have a particular benefit. You can also write posts to all of your subscribers, or even public posts than anyone can see. Neat, right?

The post system at a glance:

• Posts are accessible by clicking the “Your Posts” link in the subnav of your GameWisp Channel Dashboard
• Posts can be restricted to all your subscribers, certain subscribers based on their benefits, or can be viewable by anyone.
• Posts support our brand new overhauled comments system. Only your subscribers can comment on posts, regardless of who all can actually view the post. The new comment system is in place on videos, too.
• If your posts receive comments, they are bundled up into a digest that is emailed to you once per day. This prevents excessive email spam while still keeping you in the loop about comments on your posts.
• Posts replace subscriber messaging, but private messaging is still available in the “Messages” section of your GameWisp channel dashboard.
• Old subscriber messages have been converted to posts. Subscriber messages comments have been converted, too, and are associated with the converted post correctly. These converted subscriber messaging posts are unpublished by default. So publish them if you want your subscribers to see them.
• You can schedule posts for future release, notify your subscribers via email when they’re released, and even toggle whether or not posts can be commented on. Tal flexibilidad!

Want to know more? Look upon these moving images then, friend. And listen upon them, too, I guess.
