Some of you may have noticed that, about two weeks ago, we updated the MyChoiceBot application with a bunch of new features and minor fixes. I think some are cool enough to merit a mention on the ol' bloggerino:
1) New "Top-ranked product" icons. Thanks to a great suggestion from TravelPod GM Luc Levesque, the "Best combination of features" callout that appeared beside the currently top-ranked product has been morphed into a "first-prize"-looking badge/ribbon thingy with a better label. For first-time users, this further clarifies that products are being ranked from overall best choice (i.e., the "winner") to worst, and are not being ranked based on a single feature:
When a reader overrides the reviewer's criteria for a feature, the graphic changes to emphasize the fact that the product rankings are now being based on the reader's buying criteria:
2) Stats tables for each feature. Of you look below the sliders for any feature, you'll see not only a description for that feature (if the ChoiceBot creator added one), but also a stats table that shows you how the products in the ChoiceBot break down for that feature (the Price feature is shown in this screenshot):
Gotta love Web apps... everyone has been automatically upgraded with the new features automatically as of about 2 weeks ago. More cool stuff in the works.
