The Local Life

In our quest to bring you more tools, and a better user experience, we are announcing two new features this weekend, both of which are now live. The first is a more advanced way for users to track views of their business and event pages. Its a simple addition that allows you to track, by day and by month, how many people are looking at your page. Not overly exciting but we think it will help you track what is happening on your page.

Second, and much more exciting is the new Fans feature. If you use Facebook or Twitter, you are probably familiar with “Friends” & “Followers”; well for The Local Life, “Fans” is our version of those two things. Becoming a fan of a business will soon allow you to follow any updates a business makes to their page, like adding a new coupon or event. Once we have a few fans, we will begin to show the businesses with the most Fans on the homepage, and within each Category.

We will also be introducing some new functionality for business owners around Fans, which we will update you on fully when we go live with them, but we think they are pretty exciting as well.

For now, log in and become a Fan of your favorite business. Its easy - just click onto the “Become a Fan” tab on a Business Page click the button; simple  Who doesn’t like simple?
