In the last couple weeks we've been able to add several new features. I wanted to write a post about some of them and describe how we hope these features will help parents discover great things to do locally.
In light of the current economy, one feature we've added recently that will likely prove to be well used is the price filter. With this filter you can find stuff that meets your price range. As for me, while there's tons of stuff around town I happily spend a few dollars to do, free is awesome also! The information we use to make this filter work is growing every day, so we expect this filter to get more and more powerful every day. If it can be used to help parents find things to do around town when economic times are tough, we'll feel we have done our job.
We've also added some features for us all to communicate with one another. One of these is the Rating System. Simply click the thumbs up or thumbs down icon and thereby let everyone know a little something more about local venues and events.
If you want to share more, we added a Comments feature. Our editors are already going to town with this one. You can post a comment about a Venue or Event directly on those detail pages. We also support posting links within the Comment. Several of our editors are also prolific bloggers and write in their blogs about their experiences at local venues. Now you can link directly to these stories to gain a bigger picture understanding of the stuff that's listed here in Famplosion. We are very excited about how this will be an opportunity to work alongside the many mom and dad bloggers out there. If you're one of them feel free to post!
Lastly, we've made it easier to share the existence of Famplosion as well as specific listings 
within Famplosion with your friends and network. Click on the Share button at the bottom of every page and you'll get a menu of many ways to help spread the word...and we appreciate it! Also, click on the share icon below the description text 
on any listing, and you'll get a form for filing out a specific email address you want to send the information to. We know our community of users is highly social, so we want to support that!As always, thanks for checking out the site, and let me know if there's stuff you think we can add to it or do better. We're still adding/changing super fast right now, so all input is welcome!
