FunnelBrain Product Updates July 2009
The FunnelBrain team has been hard at work and we’d like to tell you about some exciting enhancements to the FunnelBrain service. Keep checking back though…we’ve got lots more coming this summer!
Introducing “My Funnel”
So you’ve been working with your classmates to create review materials for your upcoming exam. Now you’re done and you need to study but you don’t want your classmates adding or changing your flashcards!
With My Funnel, you can make review materials private by adding them to your “Funnel” and having a copy of the information for your eyes only. Go ahead, study for the exam and when you’re ready, re-sync with the community materials so you’re up to date.
To use this feature, click the “Make Private” link on the right side of your flashcards – see the green arrow in the screen cap below. Then access you’re your review materials directly from your profile.
Create a Private Group!
Because we know there are times when you don’t want to share with the entire community, we created Private Groups. With Private Groups you can create a study team, invite your friends and create flashcard sets that remain between you and the team.
You can also create multiple group administrators, accept or reject access to your group and send notifications to the team. These are just a few of the features now available, but stay tuned because we’ve got lots more coming…
From the Homepage, click “Create a FunnelBrain Group” and then select the privacy option at the bottom of the Create Group Page
Browser Support – Safari, Chrome, etc.
We heard you loud and clear. You can now access FunnelBrain using any browser.
Invite Friends with Facebook Connect
Want your Facebook Friends to join your FunnelBrain Group? Now you can send invitations to friends on Facebook by logging in through Facebook Connect.
Select the “Invite Friends” link from your Group homepage, select the Facebook logo and click “Connect with Facebook”
Shortly, you’ll be able to use you Facebook Connect as your primary login for FunnelBrain.com as well.
Bits and Pieces…
Our wiki-flashcard toolset is under constant improvement. We’ve updated the toolset to include the ability for you to add your flashcard set directly to your group while creating your flashcards.
Can you come up with the best mnemonic device? How about the best overall set of flashcards for a particular AP Subject? Over the coming months, we will be introducing a series of online competitions and contest for you to participate.
Go faster…without boring you with details; we have made numerous performance improvements that make the site lightning quick. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to study and having to wait for the next question to come up.
We’ve received great feedback from many of our users and are working on a lot of the stuff you’ve been asking for. Stay tuned and happy Funneling!
Thanks for using FunnelBrain!
