KnowTango Blog

Hooray, the newest version of KnowTango is up and running!  I know I’ve been a little out-of-the-loop recently, but that’s because we’ve been working really hard to finish our latest release of features.  So far, this is what we’ve added:

• Automatically generated Profiles for every tango event, venue, teacher, DJ, and organizer
  • Each Profile comes complete with a Map and Calendar specific to that Profile.
  • If you see a profile that is incomplete, inaccurate, or simply missing, just add or edit an event.  The moment you update an event with the correct info, every profile is also updated to reflect the most current information.
• Search for every tango event, venue, or professional using our Profiles
• Claiming Profiles
  • Claiming a Profile keeps you up-to-date on any changes (see Watching below) and also gives you the option of uploading a photo
  • Claiming an event (festival, milonga, practica, or class) makes you the organizer
  • Claiming a Venue makes you the Venue Manager.  This doesn’t do anything yet, but we’re working on tools and features for Venue Managers.
  • NOTE:  We are working on our system to verify claims on people Profiles, so for now we have disabled the feature
• Watching Profiles
  • Users can “watch” their favorite tango teachers, DJs, organizers, events, or venues, and get email notifications every time someone updates information on that profile.
• Feedback tab
  • Vote on other users’ suggestions or offer feedback on the features you want to see.  If enough people like your idea, we’ll definitely make it happen!
• Easier way to add and edit events
  • If you’re logged in, we no longer ask for your name and email
  • If you’re looking at a Profile, you can easily add similar events using the text links on the left below the picture

Thanks for all the support and feedback we’ve gotten so far, and I’m greatly looking forward to our next few updates.  Just to give you a heads up, this is what’s in our pipeline:

• Ratings and reviews on Profiles
• iPhone app

We’re also going to get better about posting new features, thoughts, tools, or other cool things.  If you have any ideas or suggestions for something we should write about, feel free to reach out to me at henry@knowtango.com.

¡Feliz bailes para todos!
