The Iminta.com Development Blog

Two new fun things went up on the site today: Email filters and our Iphone/Mobile interface.

Email Filters

A lot of you guys read the emails every day as your primary method of keeping up with the site. But this can get crowded if you have a lot of busy friends. If there’s stuff in there you don’t really read every day (*ahem*twitter*ahem*) you can turn that off now.

Here’s watcha do: Log in to your account and go into your profile and click on email prefs. About half way down the page you’ll see a link for Daily Update Email Filters. Click it and you’ll see something like this:

Filtering by different types

Sometimes you just want to turn off everything from a given source. Let’s say Last.fm isn’t rocking your inbox, you can just turn it off in the By Source view, which is the default. You can click on the By Type view to turn off content of a specific type. You can turn of all photos, or you could turn off only Last.fm songs, but not the weekly artist update. Finally, you can open the By Friends view and turn of a specific user’s content. You can turn off all their stuff or a portion of it. Here’s what that looks like:

Note that this view takes a little while (10-20 seconds) to load depending on how many friends you have, so be patient.

We’ll be integrating these persistent filters into the browsing experience on www.iminta.com soon, and we’ll do the same for our new mobile interface. Speaking of which…

Iminta on your Iphone / Mobile

We’re really excited about this one. Sittin’ at the train station and bored silly? Iminta can clue you in to what your friends are up to no matter where you are with it’s new, nifty mobile version.

Here’s what it looks like:

 

You can quickly browse through your own feed, the feed of all your friend’s stuff, and browse into a specific friend’s stuff. You can leave comments and even “Get inta it” which will add a friend’s item to your own feed so your other friends can find out about it.

 

We’ve tested this with the iPhone and a few cellphones that we have around the place. If you have a second try it out. Let us know if something goes wonky.

 

Have fun!
