Global Grind Cleans Up

by Angela Global Grind Cleans Up

Yesterday Global Grind cleaned up its interface making the content on the site easier to navigate.  They also stepped up their widget game a bit with the release of 2 additional widgets that can be found in a users profile.  The widgets allow a user to syndicate content that they have submitted on Global Grind or content they have favorited on the site, check ours here:

Submitted-

Favorites-

Bloggers love widgets and cool stuff like this that they can play with or help syndicate what they do, I won’t lie I love widgets but have to try to keep my addiction under control so I won’t overwhelm a user’s experience.

We are told by Navarrow Wright, the company’s CEO, that these new widgets have a use beyond just putting them on a site:

“Another application is if blogger currently does not have RSS feeds or widgets on their site they just create a profile on GG. Grind their content then place the widget code on their site or others.”

Nice, though I would love the opportunity to skin them as well.  We were told this is coming in a larger enhancement roll-out very soon.

Back to the interface…

It may just be me but since I have a design background, but I immediately noticed all the changes that were implemented, I naturally tend to look at UI first though.  However, on the other hand when discussing with Markus the changes weren’t immediately apparent to him.  I am not going to point out any of the interface changes in this post just because I want to know from you:

Do you notice the difference?

and

If you do, does it help you find what you are looking for on the site easier?
