Flog

Played with Facebook for a bit, and drafted up a page for impulsifly. Seems like a really good way to share information and build community - but it also looks like alooooooooooot of work. I wonder if we'll see jobs for Facebook admin soon... PR, must have facebook experience heehee.

Meaningful Data

Updated the table to highlight weekends instead of every second column. (Thanks Mr TC!) This makes so much more sense because the data is so much more meaningful.

Reminds me of a post from Seth Godin about generic sorts (alphabetical order, date order) being obsolete. I agree with it mostly and I want to adjust our destination in order of popularity + cost somehow.

News != Blog

I have removed the 'Whats New' section.

The first reason is because it just took too long to load. (Bad Feedburner!) I'd originally intended for this blog to be the news section. New entries are then converted into page content via a conversion service provided Feedburner. However, Feedburner simply took too long to load! And there is no good reason why we should delay the user from getting to what they are here for because of some measley 'News'.

The second reason is that, I can't guarantee all posts to be relevant. And I have found there are items worth noting, yet don't deserve to be on the main page. So I my conclusion is 'News' != 'Blog'. Visitors who are interested in the development of Impulsifly can click on the Blog link instead.

For the mean time, I have replaced the left hand side column with Google Ads.

PS: Thanks, FAQ is now spelled in caps :)

What's New?

Added the "What's new?" section to the site. We've been making quite a bit of changes, so this section just serves as a notice board. In addition to publishing system notices and updates, we'll also use this space to publish upcoming special events - when we do have special events.

Oh and the current layout is only an initial effort, it'll get revisited later.

Text updates and Return Flight Prompt revisited

Updated various texts around the site to be more descriptive.
In particular the older Home Page did not give a complete summary of Impulsifly. We know most visitors wouldn't even notice there were words on the home page :) But we would like to give good information to those who happen to cast a glance (it's our 2 second pitch).

Another area that got a major revamp is the faq section. We have added alot of good information (and a huge thankyou for asking lots of good questions!)

Finally, we revisited the prompt that informs users how to bring up return flights. The old text prompt was too dissociated from the data table, so we have brought it down to fill up the space in the corner of the table.

Google Analytics

Added - unfortunately I cant share the report site (have to add users one by one). But I'll post graphs here from time to time.
