Radius gets a lot of love
The past several months at radius have been all about improving the website. We’ve spent countless hours on several really big projects to bring you new features, improve the speed of the site and make the community more friendly.
You’ve all returned the favor with record usage and growing the community to nearly 2 million registered users. Here’s a brief summary of all the goodness we’ve rolled out recently.
New Profiles: Many of you have been asking for better profiles and a place to make your own so we rolled out some cool new pages for every user. It’s got your pics, friends, info and of course a map so your friends know where you are. Check out the page for our friendly radiusOffice user. Even more improvements like bigger pics and richer info about users is coming soon.
Better Community: As with any social website, care needs to be taken to make sure the community remains friendly and has the right privacy features in place. We’ve taken big steps in this area to ensure radius remains a cool place to IM and meet new people. The feedback here has been really positive.
The Big Move: With all the new users our old home was getting a little snug so we started shopping around for a new home for the radius servers. After a long search we found a great place that is going to give us plenty of room to grow, but an even better benefit was a big increase in speed due to some fancy new technology. Many of you have reached out and let us know how much faster the site is these days. Thanks for noticing!
There’s a whole lot more, but we just wanted to share with everyone a bit of how we’re spending our time at radius. Look for some other big improvements really soon and thanks again for all the support. As always keep the feedback coming.
