Shorter, User Friendly URL for Personal Website and Sharing

02 February 2010

Based on great client feedback, we made an improvement to your personal website that YGL provides.  The old personal website had a long URL that included many user unfriendly parameters.  Now we updated that URL to be 40 characters shorter and user friendlier.  The new URL has two main benefits:

1.  Shorter – This makes it easy to share to other websites, particularly Twitter where your message is limited to 150 characters.

2.  More Stable – The new url has no special characters such as “&”, “?”, “=”.  This makes the url much easier to be sent and shared with other people and websites.

Map View Improvement

We also made a small improvement to the Map View listings search. Now when you run a search for listings in the map view, the map will auto zoom in or zoom out to make sure all your listings search results appear on the map.  This is to prevent you from missing certain matching listings that appear outside your current view.
