Update; Sign in methods

August 4, 2011 by Daniël

We have some nice features in this update:

• Sign in/up methods
• Invitation reminder
• Save as filter
• Suggest wave address
• Updated language packs: Française & Español

From now on you can sign in with your Google, Twitter, Facebook or OpenID account. Just enable the option at your settings page. As an admin you can enable or disable every external authentication method as you please. New users can sign up with these providers, speeding up the registration process!

 Select your favorite methods (above) and login (below)

To help you get your users online, we’re reminding every user who hasn’t responded to your invite three times. You, as an admin, won’t have to do anything, in the invitation overview you can see if and when a user has been reminded. If a user doesn’t want to be reminded again, or doesn’t want to signup to your network, they can simply reject the invitation.

Save as filter

If you regularly use the same hashtags to filter your inbox you’ll be happy now. You can now save the filter and can access is with a single click via the inbox menu. Just use some hashtags, “with:[waveaddress]” or words to build the filter, click save filter and give it a nice name.

To speed up the signup procedure, we’re suggesting a wave address for your users. The suggestions are based on the first and last name and the emailaddress of the user. If they signed up using an external provider like Facebook, we’ll suggest the Facebook nickname as well!

As promised, we’ve updated our language packs for our French and Spanish speaking users. Please let us know if we did a good Google Translate job

Next up

We’re in the final development and testing stage of real-time collaborative wave editing, so we will release this feature very soon! With this feature you can edit a wave with multiple users at the same time. With this feature you can also fully use the wave permission levels full-access, commenter and read-only.
