			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Yess &#8211; we released a new version of jovoto today.</strong></p>
<p>The following screenshots show the major changes. The most important change is the search feature &#8211; we hope that you like it as much as we do <img src='http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Please give us feedback, so that we know that we are developing stuff you need that makes you happy!</p>
<p><strong>1. Search</strong></p>
<hr /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7261" title="Search" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Search1.png" alt="Search" width="580" /></p>
<p>Search for Members, Ideas and Contests. Trough the quick result list you can navigate directly to pages &#8211; simply use you arrow-keys to go through the list and press enter to choose.</p>
<p><strong>2. News and Statistics</strong></p>
<hr /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7260" title="news-statistics" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/news-statistics1.png" alt="news-statistics" width="580" /></p>
<p>We are working on improving the dashboard &#8211; so the jovoto news have moved next to the contest-glider. Remember that they are containing important information about contests and community-news. You can get those news via E-Mail if you want: you only have to set the accompanying notification setting in your profile and you will be notified via mail about hot news from jovoto.</p>
<p><strong>3. Direct link to briefing comments</strong></p>
<hr /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7258" title="direct-link" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/direct-link.png" alt="direct-link" width="580" /></p>
<p>This is just a bugfix but hey, a real good one! Now you are redirected directly from the dashboard message to the right position of the comment on the briefing page.</p>
<p><strong>4. Blog archive and more posts on blog main page</strong></p>
<hr /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7259" title="blog-more posts" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/blog-more-posts.png" alt="blog-more posts" width="580" /></p>
<p>You are looking for older posts in our Blog? Look at the archive and you will find them. Also on the blog-main page there are now more posts presented &#8211; have fun reading!</p>
<p>We hope you like the new features and as always we&#8217;re looking forward to hearing your feedback!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s done, by popular demand, we have reinvented the Contest Glider, and have moved it to the place where it&#8217;s needed: onto your dashboard. The Glider now contains contest-updates right on your dashboard.<br />
<img title="contest-glider" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/contest-glider.png" alt="contest-glider" width="580" /><br />
At the same time, important jovoto news now find their place in one separate box below the Glider.</p>
<h2>What else is new :</h2>
<h3>Quickly go to contests, ideas, and profiles:</h3>
<p>Who wants to have even faster access to current events? Here you go: The status messages in the &#8220;What&#8217;s happening on the platform?&#8221;-Box now containing direct-links to users ideas, and contests:</p>
<p><img title="linked-news" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/linked-news.png" alt="linked-news" width="268" height="234" /></p>
<h3>Winning ideas are marked in the detail-view:</h3>
<p><img title="winner-marks" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/winner-marks.png" alt="winner-marks" width="580" /></p>
<h3>Notification if the idea rank becomes visible:</h3>
<p><img title="rating-online" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/rating-online.png" alt="rating-online" width="580" /></p>
<p>As of now, there is a dashboard message when an idea has enough ratings to count in in the overall contest-rating and its rank becomes visible. All those of you who want to receive an e-mail for this event have to wait only a few more days &#8230;</p>
<h3>Bilingual idea descriptions:</h3>
<p><img title="description" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/description.png" alt="description" width="580" /></p>
<p>Many ideas descriptions are exemplary recorded in German and English <img src='http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  –  This results in descriptions becoming very long and hard to read <img src='http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' />  . We&#8217;ve built a language switcher, so that descriptions can be entered individually in each language. (Which description is displayed depends on the language you have set for the platform. Platform lLanguage switch in the footer)</p>
<p>We always like Proposals to improve the platform, or feedback about the new features  – so, please use the feedback feature on the platform, or simply comment here on the blog post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We didn‘t rest between the holidays and busied ourselves with fixing some minor bugs and deploying a couple of not so minor <strong>new features on the platform</strong>. Yeah, yeah, yeah! The five most important ones will be briefly introduced in the following:</p>
<h3>1. Briefing improvement &#8211; vertical layout:</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.jovoto.com/contests/triple8/briefing"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6314" title="new briefing layout" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/briefing-1.png" alt="new briefing layout" width="580" /></a></p>
<p>The layout in two columns did have some deficits regarding it‘s readiability &#8211; so we decided to get rid of it and go back to the vertical layout. And while we were at it we also adjusted the print view so that you can easily print out the briefing now. Put it under your pillow or pin it up the wall above your writing desk &#8211; no problem with the new print view.</p>
<h3>2. Filter for  ideas not rated yet:</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6315" title="filter-not-yet-rated" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/filter-not-yet-rated.png" alt="filter-not-yet-rated" width="580" />With the new filter &#8220;Not rated yet“ you can easily organize your way around voting. Just display the ideas you haven‘t rated yet &#8211; or display those you already rated and want to check on again. Rating gets much faster and easier with this new feature.</p>
<h3>3. Online status settings:</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6316" title="online-status" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/online-status.png" alt="online-status" width="580" />On popular demand we added a checkbox to the user settings to activate or deactivate the showing of your online status, the pink dot that appears in your user image when you are online. You now have the choice whether you want to show your online status or not. Let‘s recall: the pink dot appears when you‘re active on the platform, it automatically disappears as soon as you log out or are inactive for more than ten minutes.</p>
<h3>4. &#8220;Follow Contest&#8221; is back:</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6318" title="follow-contest" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/follow-contest.png" alt="follow-contest" width="580" /> Well, it wasn‘t exactly gone, but the “Follow Contest“ button is placed more prominently now on the platform. By clicking the &#8220;Follow Contest“ button you make sure to get all the dashboard messages that inform you about what‘s going on in that contest &#8211; e.g. if someone submits a new idea. A great way to stay updated!</p>
<h3>5. E-mail notifications are working again:</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6319" title="notification-settings" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/notification-settings.png" alt="notification-settings" width="615" height="316" />You want the information from your dashboard directly in your mail box? No problem, you can activate this service in your user settings under notification settings.</p>
<p>We‘re looking forward to hearing your feedback on this features as well as more suggestions of how to improve the platform further.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Es gibt tolle Neuigkeiten im „friendtickers getaway“ &#8211; Contest:<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.servtag.com/">Servtag</a> wird zwei der Einreichungen übernehmen! </strong><br />
Bei Servtag wurde der Contest sehr positiv aufgenommen:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Wir waren sehr positiv überrascht von den Einreichungen während des Jovoto Contests. Die von uns gestellte Aufgabe war sehr umfangreich und bedurfte einer hohen Kreativität zur Lösung &#8211; dieser Herausforderung wurden die Contestteilnehmer mehr als gerecht</em>.“<br />
sagt Florian Resatsch aus der Geschäftsführung.</p>
<p><strong>Und die Glücklichen sind: <em>openframe</em> und <em>thegoodad</em>. </strong><br />
<em>Openframe</em> wurde mit seiner Idee „Hier bin ich. Friendticker 2.0“ sowohl von der Community auf den ersten Platz gewählt, als auch von Servtag favorisiert. Auch <em>thegoodad</em> konnte in beiden Fällen mit dem witzigen Video punkten.<br />
<strong>Herzlichen Glückwunsch an die beiden!</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_5135" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 168px"><img class="size-full wp-image-5135" title="Hier bin ich. Friendticker 2.0 by openframe" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Bild-2.png" alt="Hier bin ich. Friendticker 2.0 by openframe" width="158" height="231" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hier bin ich. Friendticker 2.0 by openframe</p></div>
<div id="attachment_5136" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 168px"><img class="size-full wp-image-5136" title="Die ticken wohl nicht richtig by thegoodad" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Bild-3.png" alt="Die ticken wohl nicht richtig by thegoodad" width="158" height="233" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Die ticken wohl nicht richtig by thegoodad</p></div>
<p>Gerade haben wir uns mit der Geschäftsführung von Servtag getroffen, um die Modalitäten abzusprechen. Die Lizenzverträge sind bereits unterschrieben und auf dem Weg zu <em>openframe</em> und <em>thegoodad</em>. Eine weitere Zusammenarbeit ist von Servtag auf jeden Fall erwünscht. Die Konzepte und Ideen werden nun in gemeinsamer Absprache verfeinert &#8211; wir sind gespannt auf das neue Design von friendticker und eine weitere Version des lustigen Videos, das man auch auf <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/6176666">vimeo</a> angucken kann.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6176666&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="350" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6176666&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/6176666">&#8216;die ticken wohl nicht richtig&#8217;</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p>Das ganze jovoto-Team freut sich sehr über die tolle Zusammenarbeit mit Servtag und an dieser Stelle möchten wir uns auch noch einmal ganz herzlich bei allen bedanken, die Ideen in diesem Contest eingereicht haben.</p>
<p><strong>Hier noch ein paar Informationen über den Friendticker:</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.friendticker.de">Friendticker</a> ist eine mobile location-based Plattform mittels der man die Kommunikation mit seinen Freunden vereinfacht. Die Firma servtag betreibt den Service. Florian Resatsch, Geschäftsführer und Mitgründer von Servtag, freute sich besonders über die Zusammenarbeit mit Jovoto: „Auf Grund der sehr guten Vorschläge, haben wir uns auch für zwei Entwürfe aus dem Contest entschieden. Die Community Manager von Jovoto haben uns sehr in der Zusammenarbeit mit den Kreativen unterstützt und den Prozess exzellent moderiert. Wir würden uns daher wieder für Jovoto entscheiden.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wir freuen uns auch über den tollen Erfolg für die Community und damit für jovoto und die unkomplizierte Zusammenarbeit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And jovoto grew again&#8230; We proudly present and welcome our new team member: Peter.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1788 aligncenter" title="peter1" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/peter1.jpg" alt="peter1" width="430" height="310" /><a rel="attachment wp-att-1751" href="/2009/07/new-team-member-peter/peter/"><br />
</a></p>
<p><span id="more-1750"></span></p>
<p>Employed as a project and product manager, Peter is supposed to manage not only external projects but also coordinate internal communication and workflows. He will work as a link between the community team and the developers, helping to translate the latest ideas of how to improve the jovoto-platform into reality. We are extremely happy to have him and working with him has been a pleasure since he joined us two weeks ago. Peter has a lot of experience in the field and I leave it ti him to impress you:</p>
<p>Hello everybody! My name&#8217;s Peter and it&#8217;s great to be with the jovoto crowd! Hopefully we&#8217;ll all get to know each other sooner or later. Here is how I got to join the jovoto-Team:<br />
I first studied Applied Information Science in Siegen, together with Daniel by the way. After graduating I worked as a software developer for a software company, but realized pretty quickly that I didn&#8217;t want to spend the rest of my life programming. I quit my job and moved to Berlin without really knowing what I was going for. I applied at the Institute of Electronic Business and , luckily, got accepted. Whilst studying I worked as a freelance developer and consultant and continued doing that after my diploma in 2008. But being the restless person I am, I now decided that it&#8217;s time for yet another change. It&#8217;s always exciting to discover and experience new challenges and new environments and make yourself comfortable with new structures. Jovoto is a great adventure and I am so curious to see where this journey will lead us to. It is impressive to see the development and growth this platform went through in the past two years. That&#8217;s why I accepted the job offer by jovoto after having turned down similar offers before. I am happy I made this decision – and now: let it grow guys!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We&#8217;re once again introducing a new staff member!</p>
<p>Since the very beginning jovoto has  from time to time engaged active community members to realize creative projects for jovoto. Actually we noticed that more and more creative work needs to be done around here, so we asked long-time community member Nina to join and support the team as a part time designer.</p>
<p>Nina will take special care of creative processes around jovoto and &#8211; thus the plan &#8211; find many new and exciting ways to spread jovoto&#8217;s spirit and keep the flowery braingarden growing ; )</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But perhaps it&#8217;s even better if she presents herself:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<em><img class="size-medium wp-image-1110 aligncenter" title="nina" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/pinky.png" alt="nina" width="283" height="283" /></em></p>
<p>Hello to the jovoting crowd!</p>
<p>Perhaps some of you know me already, since I participated in the first jovoto contest, I have been infected with the jovoto-virus and can&#8217;t stop interacting in contests and community actions. jovoto offered me the perfect place to work on creative tasks in a totally free way, not depending on time schedules, only depending on my personal workflow. And I was even luckier, that some of my ideas won great prizes ; )</p>
<p>Now i‘m really happy, that today, I could switch to the other side and became a member of the jovoto-team. Yeah ; ) For sure i‘ll miss my contest activities, but it‘s great to get the possibility to help building up and developing this cool platform with a great team and to push it further and further. Before i became a jovoto I studied design at the FH-Potsda and I am actually working on my diploma right now.</p>
<p>I have been working as a freelancer in different  categories such as photography, illustration and graphic design.<br />
I‘m really excited to follow your great output!!! a toute, nina</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Knapp 350 Beiträge in über 1100 Versionen wurden von der jovoto-Community im <a href="/2009/03/was-ist-los-im-frank-walter-steinmeier-contest/" target="blank">Frank-Walter-Steinmeier-Wettbewerb</a> eingereicht. Im Laufe des Wettbewerbes wurden die Ideenbeiträge von den jovoto-Mitgliedern mit über 2400 Kommentaren diskutiert und schließlich mit über 10000 Bewertungen die Gewinner des Wettbewerbes gewählt. Nach einem spannenden Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen hat die Community entschieden, auf welche Ideenbeiträge sich die 5000 € Preisgeld teilen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-957 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="berkeley" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/berkeley.jpg" alt="berkeley" width="465" height="465" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Mit nur 0,1 Punkten Abstand wurde die Idee mit dem Titel &#8220;Auf. Stufe für Stufe.&#8221; von Berkeley zum Wettbewerbsgewinner gewählt.</p>
<p>Gefolgt von Weber mit seiner Idee &#8220;(&#8230;) dynamisch in die Zukunft von Deutschland.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<img class="size-full wp-image-965 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="weber_fuer_steinmeier_04_06_big" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/weber_fuer_steinmeier_04_06_big.png" alt="weber_fuer_steinmeier_04_06_big" width="456" height="456" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Auf den dritten Platz wählte die Community die Idee mit dem Titel &#8220;The Only Way Is Up&#8221; von Fromfront.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<img class="size-full wp-image-958 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="formfont" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/formfont.jpg" alt="formfont" width="465" height="465" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p>Im Anschluss an den Wettbewerb ist nun die Meinung der SPD und deren Agentur A+B Face2Net gefragt. Es gilt die einzelnen Ideenbeiträge aber auch den gesamten Wettbewerbsverlauf, also auch die Kommentare und Bewertungen zu diskutieren und zu überlegen, welche Ideenbeiträge für den tatsächlichen Einsatz welche Potenziale bergen.</p>
<p>Darüber hinaus ist es interessant zu beobachten, dass sich seit gestern Abend viele der Diskussionen, die bereits innerhalb der Community gelaufen sind, nun öffentlich im Web, v.a. bei Twitter und in diversen Blogs wiederholen.<br />
Diese Diskussionen, ob nun auf jovoto oder <a href="http://politik-digital.de/nutzer-entwerfen-signet-fuer-steinmeier" target="blank">woanders</a>, tragen sicher zur Entscheidungsfindung bei und zeigen eindeutig, welche Vorteile Crowdsourcing-Prozesse, bzw. ein kollektiver Think-Tank und der <a href="http://www.designtagebuch.de/siegerentwurf-frank-steinmeier-signet/" target="blank">erweiterte Diskurs</a> mit sich bringen. Es werden nicht nur spannende Insights generiert und ein breiter Möglichkeitsraum aufgezeigt, sondern der erweiterte Diskurs bildet Meinung und generiert für den Auftraggeber Relevanz und Sicherheit.</p>
<p>Dass die Meinung der Community nicht zwingend die <a href="http://www.wahlkampf09.de/2009/3/jovoto-contest-fr-steinmeier-signet-beendet" target="blank">erste Wahl für den Auftraggeber</a> sein muss, ist durch die von einander getrennten Entscheidungsebenen, Community auf der einen und Auftraggeber auf der anderen Seite, klar geregelt. Bisher allerdings waren die für Auftraggeber interessantesten Ideen auch immer unter den Top-Platzierungen der Community zu finden.</p>
<p>Wir bleiben gespannt und halten Euch auf dem Laufenden!</p>
<p>Zum Abschluss noch ein paar weitere, top-platzierte Ideenbeiträge von TinoD, Berkeley, Edeny_De oder Fontmess:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<img class="size-full wp-image-977 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="overview" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/overview.jpg" alt="overview" width="450" height="1000" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mit dieser und ähnlichen Fragen werden wir seit einigen Tagen belagert, so dass wir jetzt bereits vorab erste Ideen und den Contest vorstellen.</p>
<p>Was Anfang Februar gemeinsam mit der Online-Agentur der <a title="SPD" href="http://www.spd.de" target="_blank">SPD</a>, <a title="A&amp;B Face2Net" href="http://www.a-b-face2net.de/de/index.html" target="_blank">A&amp;B Face2Net</a> als Contest für ein Wahlkampf-Signet gestartet wurde, entwickelte sich schnell zu einer Ideenlawine, und dass obwohl der Contest gerade erst in die heisse Phase einläuft. Wenn bereits zur Halbzeit knapp 200 Ideen in über 800 Ausführungen, mit über 1000 Kommentare und mehr als 3000 Bewertungen aufgestellt sind, spricht dies für sich und natürlich für das Thema des Contests, für Frank-Walter Steinmeier.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-941 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="S. Der kann das!" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/der_kann_das1.jpg" alt="S. Der kann das!" width="440" height="263" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Idee: <a title="S. der kann das!" href="http://www.jovoto.com/contests/frank-walter-steinmeier/ideas/1608" target="_blank">S. der kann das!</a> von jovoto-Mitglied: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/community/thirdbase" target="_blank">Thirdbase</a></p>
<p>Offen und selbstbewusst den Diskurs mit den jovoto-Mitgliedern zu suchen, ist nicht selbstverständlich. Die Wettbewerbe und deren Ausgang sind Meinungssache und beruhen auf dem Diskurs der jovoto-Gemeinschaft, deren Mitglieder völlig  frei und unabhängig agieren. Zwar gibt es ein Briefing, aber niemand schreibt den Teilnehmern vor, wie sie zu arbeiten haben oder beurteilt gar wie gut oder auch wie schlecht die eingereichten Ideen sind, außer natürlich die eigene Community als Kollektiv.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-922 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Sozial Sicher Stark" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/boiebaumann_steinmeier_sozial_sicher_strak.jpg" alt="Sozial Sicher Stark" width="440" height="286" /><br />
Idee: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/contests/frank-walter-steinmeier/ideas/1659" target="_blank">Steinmeier. Sozial. Sicher. Stark.</a> von jovoto-Mitglied: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/community/boiebaumann" target="_blank">Boiebaumann</a> aktuell auf dem ersten Platz</p>
<p>Bei jovoto liegt der Fokus auf der Idee und es geht nicht darum perfekte Artworks zu liefern, vollständige Kampagnenkonzepte zu erarbeiten oder 100% &#8220;on Briefing&#8221; zu arbeiten – es geht um ein Screening des möglichen Ideenraumes, es geht um kollektiven Austausch und vor allem geht es um Inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-933 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Aus unserer Mitte" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/knutbert_aus_unserer_mitte.jpg" alt="Aus unserer Mitte" width="440" height="263" /><br />
Idee: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/contests/frank-walter-steinmeier/ideas/1898" target="_blank">Aus unserer Mitte</a> von jovoto-Mitglied: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/community/knutbert" target="_blank">knutbert</a></p>
<p>In zahlreichen Gresprächen mit interessierten Unternehmen haben sich häufig Fragen und Ängste gezeigt, die den Kontrollverlust im jovoto-Prinzip thematisieren. Doch gerade dieser Kontrollverlust macht die Inspiration ja so spannend.<br />
Nicht jeder kann nachvollziehen, welche Vorteile aufrichtiges Feedback und offener Dialog hat oder welche Potenziale sich entfalten, wenn Menschen nur der eigenen Passion gerecht werden müssen und dabei einen fairen Diskurs suchen.</p>
<p>Was dabei entsteht, lässt sich in einem einzelnen Blogpost gar nicht darstellen, sondern nur ausschnittsweise erahnen, wenn wir hier eine erste Ideenauswahl vorstellen:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-937 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Gemeinsam nach vorne" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/gemeinsam_nach_vorne.jpg" alt="Gemeinsam nach vorne" width="440" height="263" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Idee: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/contests/frank-walter-steinmeier/ideas/1846" target="_blank">Gemeinsam nach vorne</a> von jovoto-Mitglied: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/community/edeny_de" target="_blank">edeny_de</a> ist besonders viel diskutiert worden.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-930 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Nina schwung nach vorne" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nina_schwung_nach_vorne.jpg" alt="Nina schwung nach vorne" width="440" height="263" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Idee: <a title="Neuer Schwung" href="http://www.jovoto.com/contests/frank-walter-steinmeier/ideas/1931" target="_blank">Mit neuem Schwung nach vorn.</a> von jovoto-Mitglied: <a href="http://www.jovoto.com/community/nina" target="_blank">Nina</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-944 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Eine gute Wahl" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/eine_gute_wahl.jpg" alt="Eine gute Wahl" width="440" height="263" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This new feature enables the community members to keep a better track of who is following who. Until now in everyone&#8217;s dashboard and user profile there was the &#8220;Followers&#8221; area. Small user icons showed which users a member of the community was following. From now on, in this area users can switch between &#8220;Followers&#8221; and &#8220;Following&#8221;. &#8220;Following&#8221; shows the community members which this user follows. &#8220;Followers&#8221; shows the community members which are following this user. The wording could sound a bit confusing but we took it from twitter, so it&#8217;s something people already know. Here is a small explanation of how it works:</p>
<p><strong>Following:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-806 aligncenter" title="following" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/following.jpg" alt="following" width="350" height="155" /></p>
<p>If you are on any idea page or on anyone&#8217;s user profile, there is a button &#8220;Follow this user&#8221;. If you click this button, your dashboard will be updated with all the activity this user preforms. In addition, the user will have your user image shown in his &#8220;Followers&#8221; area and he will receive a message in his dashboard informing him about your fan ship. <strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Followers:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-808 aligncenter" title="followers-11" src="http://www.jovoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/followers-11.jpg" alt="followers-11" width="350" height="157" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>In the &#8220;Followers&#8221; area users can see who is following a specific user.</p>
<p>This feature enables the community to grow together by liking users and establishing relations between them, also delivering some transparency by showing the connections between the users in the platform.</p>
