At Raptr, we constantly monitor the feedback from our users with ideas on how we can improve our site. Our responsibility then is to take those great ideas, build them, and hopefully help improve the lives of millions of gamers. Today, we have released two new exciting features on our site that our users have been asking for.
People Who Have This Game Also Play
Figuring out whether you like a particular new game can be tough and so can finding new games. Our new module hopes to solve both of these problems. We have aggregated the games that our users have in their libraries and put them through our secret sauce to display recommendations based on them.
So if you know you like a game like Halo 3, you can see what other people who like Halo 3 also play. Similarly, if you have no idea what a game is like, you can take a look at the similar games to get an idea of whether you’d like it!
Improved Social Network Sharing
As some of you may already know, we allow you to broadcast your gaming activity to other social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed, Ping.fm, and Plurk. We can even update your playing activity as it happens so your friends can join you in your gaming as it happens. However, some of you have asked for the ability to share your activity in a summarized form instead.
Our latest release includes a redesigned settings screen and the new option to share your activity as a daily summary. You can even choose what time of day we send the alert. Simply go to your Account Settings->Sharing and check the daily summaries checkbox under the service that you are connected to (and make sure you have your timezone set up).
We have a ton of great improvements coming so keep your eye out here for all the latest updates. In the meantime, make sure to let us know what you think and what you’d like to see on our forums!
