LeapTag now offers publishing

On Friday we released an update to LeapTag that introduces a number of new features our users have been asking for. The focus of this release is on enabling the sharing of users' discoveries and we have approached this from a number of directions.

  • Publishing. Users can select individual LeapTag results, write comments about them and publish the items as HTML, which can be embedded into their blogs and web sites using cut and paste.
  • Sharing. Users can now send interesting articles to their friends with our built-in email tool. This feature also enables people to send entire tags via e-mail. Our users have built some great tags and now they can share them with their friends, giving others a leg-up on building their tag collection.

In addition to these sharing features, we added a couple of features to make it easier for people to manage their results with more control:

  • News and Blog Feed (RSS) Management. An advanced feature for most users, this feature enables users to select whether LeapTag should never, automatically or always monitor specific RSS feeds - tag by tag.
  • Sort-by options and turn off "discovery." We have added new sorting options to the header of every tag results page that will allow users to sort their results by relevance (default), date and source. In addition users can turn off the "discovery" feature for those times when they only want to see results generated by the keywords they selected and the RSS feeds they imported.

These last two features were requested by people who are using LeapTag to filter their RSS feeds and who want the option to to be able to view their results without the benefit of LeapTag discovery.

We hope you will give this new version a try, and look forward to hearing your feedback.
