AngryBirdsNest is always trying to evolve and improve its service to you. Over the past few months, we have overhauled the coding of our leaderboards to make them faster, added functionality to the Activity and Profile portions of the site, and a lot more stuff that mostly goes unseen. Today’s announcement is something we’ve been working on for sometime and is quite unique to our community. Thankfully it’s now ready for use!
So what is it?
In a nutshell, it’s a custom notifications system that, in many ways, works much like the existing notifications you already receive (e.g. private messages, “@ mentions”, replies, friend requests, etc.). The difference here is that this one is under our control, so we can build in notifications where it was previously impossible (more on this below).
One example of this is you can now chose to be notified when an Angry Birds, Bad Piggies, or Amazing Alex update (or any game we eventually cover) lands on the primary platform you’ve set in your profile. Notifications are sent via email and will appear on site, just like existing notifications. This is an opt-in service only, so you won’t receive them if you don’t want them. While we think this feature is useful for all, it’s especially useful for those users who don’t have update notifications pushed to their device automatically.
Opt-in in Two Simple Steps
So just to stress a few things:
With the launch of this system comes the potential to expand it. The following examples are hypothetical but, if we add them, rest assured that they will also be opt-in only.
We would love to hear your thoughts. Of course, with any new system, there may be bugs. Since updates are periodic, they can be very difficult to notice and reproduce. But let us know if you notice anything buggy.
