Radius has taken a big step forward in our latest release with cool additions like a navigation redesign, richer profiles and a new Find Me icon that automatically locates you.

Many of you have probably noticed the new nav bar on the top of the page.  Our goal was to make radius much easier to use and let everyone know all the cool things you can do in the app.  The feedback so far has been great.

Our profiles have also gotten a lot cooler with much larger photos.  Now when you click on one of the thumbnails on the profiles a much larger version of the picture will pop up and also let you view a slide show of all the pics.  Makes surfing for people a lot more fun.

My personal favorite is the new ‘Find Me’ button.  You’ll see an icon in the map now that looks like a beacon.  It’s right below the zoom out icon inside the map.  Click on it and you’ll get moved to your actual location.  Don’t worry, we still fuzzy it up a bit to keep your friends guessing, but it gets you pretty close.  Our partner Skyhook Wireless powers this with their nifty wifi positioning technology.  Check out this link to learn how they work their magic.  Note that you’ll need a wifi enabled computer to use it.
